<p> |
46 |
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Python: |
47 |
</p> |
48 |
<ul> |
49 |
<li>David |
50 |
Remahl reported multiple integer overflows in the file imageop.c, |
51 |
leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1679). This issue is |
52 |
due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.</li> |
53 |
<li>Justin Ferguson |
54 |
discovered that an integer signedness error in the zlib extension |
55 |
module might trigger insufficient memory allocation and a buffer |
56 |
overflow via a negative signed integer (CVE-2008-1721).</li> |
57 |
<li>Justin |
58 |
Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in the |
59 |
PyString_FromStringAndSize() function might lead to a buffer overflow |
60 |
(CVE-2008-1887).</li> |
61 |
</ul> |
62 |
</description> |
63 |
<impact type="normal"> |
64 |
<p> |
65 |
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial |
66 |
of Service or possibly the remote execution of arbitrary code with the |
67 |
privileges of the user running Python. |
68 |
</p> |
69 |
</impact> |
70 |
<workaround> |
71 |
<p> |
72 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
73 |
</p> |
74 |
</workaround> |
75 |
<resolution> |
76 |
<p> |
77 |
The imageop module is no longer built in the unaffected versions. |
78 |
</p> |
79 |
<p> |
80 |
All Python 2.3 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
81 |
</p> |
82 |
<code> |
83 |
# emerge --sync |
84 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r6"</code> |
85 |
<p> |
86 |
All Python 2.4 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
87 |
</p> |
88 |
<code> |
89 |
# emerge --sync |
90 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r13"</code> |
91 |
