Per comment 25, has anyone reported a bug against Ubuntu for packaging
of pywbem?

Otherwise, we could put some conditional logic in the code that checks
the signature of the pywbem library and if the args are available use
them, if not don't - or try to use them and catch an exception and
handle it gracefully with a note about why we have to do the conditional
checks.

Title:
  MITM vulnerability with EMC VMAX driver

Status in Cinder:
  Triaged
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The EMC VMAX driver in Juno appears to blindly trust whatever
  certificate it gets back from the device without any validation (it
  does not specify the ca_certs parameter, etc. on
  WBEMConnection.__init__). This would leave it open to a MITM attack.
