Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Python: |
| 48 |
</p> |
| 49 |
<ul> |
| 50 |
<li> |
| 51 |
David Remahl of Apple Product Security reported several integer |
| 52 |
overflows in core modules such as stringobject, unicodeobject, |
| 53 |
bufferobject, longobject, tupleobject, stropmodule, gcmodule, |
| 54 |
mmapmodule (CVE-2008-2315). |
| 55 |
</li> |
| 56 |
<li> |
| 57 |
David Remahl of Apple Product Security also reported an integer |
| 58 |
overflow in the hashlib module, leading to unreliable cryptographic |
| 59 |
digest results (CVE-2008-2316). |
| 60 |
</li> |
| 61 |
<li> |
| 62 |
Justin Ferguson reported multiple buffer overflows in unicode string |
| 63 |
processing that only affect 32bit systems (CVE-2008-3142). |
| 64 |
</li> |
| 65 |
<li> |
| 66 |
The Google Security Team reported multiple integer overflows |
| 67 |
(CVE-2008-3143). |
| 68 |
</li> |
| 69 |
<li> |
| 70 |
Justin Ferguson reported multiple integer underflows and overflows in |
| 71 |
the PyOS_vsnprintf() function, and an off-by-one error when passing |
| 72 |
zero-length strings, leading to memory corruption (CVE-2008-3144). |
| 73 |
</li> |
| 74 |
</ul> |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 77 |
<p> |
| 78 |
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities in Python |
| 79 |
applications or daemons that pass user-controlled input to vulnerable |
| 80 |
functions. Exploitation might lead to the execution of arbitrary code |
| 81 |
or a Denial of Service. Vulnerabilities within the hashlib might lead |
| 82 |
to weakened cryptographic protection of data integrity or authenticity. |
| 83 |
</p> |
| 84 |
</impact> |
| 85 |
<workaround> |
| 86 |
<p> |
| 87 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 88 |
</p> |

</workaround> |
| 90 |
<resolution> |
| 91 |
<p> |
| 92 |
All Python 2.4 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 93 |
</p> |
| 94 |
<code> |
| 95 |
# emerge --sync |
| 96 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r14"</code> |
| 97 |
<p> |
| 98 |
All Python 2.5 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 99 |
</p> |
| 100 |
<code> |
| 101 |
# emerge --sync |
| 102 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r6"</code> |
| 103 |
<p> |
| 104 |
Please note that Python 2.3 is masked since June 24, and we will not be |
| 105 |
releasing updates to it. It will be removed from the tree in the near |
| 106 |
future. |
