Package : python2.4
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-2052 CVE-2007-4965 CVE-2008-1679 CVE-2008-1721 CVE-2008-1887
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the
Python language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:
CVE-2007-2052
Piotr Engelking discovered that the strxfrm() function of the locale
module miscalculates the length of an internal buffer, which may
result in a minor information disclosure.
CVE-2007-4965
It was discovered that several integer overflows in the imageop
module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, if a user is
tricked into processing malformed images. This issue is also
tracked as CVE-2008-1679 due to an initially incomplete patch.
CVE-2008-1721
Justin Ferguson discovered that a buffer overflow in the zlib
module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2008-1887
Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in
PyString_FromStringAndSize() may lead to the execution of arbitrary
code.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.4-3+etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.5-2.
We recommend that you upgrade your python2.4 packages.
