Package        : python2.2
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0150
BugTraq ID     : 9836
Debian Bug     : 248946 269548

This security advisory corrects DSA 458-2 which caused a problem in
the gethostbyaddr routine.  

The original advisory said:

   Sebastian Schmidt discovered a buffer overflow bug in Python's
   getaddrinfo function, which could allow an IPv6 address, supplied by a
   remote attacker via DNS, to overwrite memory on the stack.

   This bug only exists in python 2.2 and 2.2.1, and only when IPv6
   support is disabled.  The python2.2 package in Debian woody meets
   these conditions (the 'python' package does not).

For the stable distribution (woody), this bug has been fixed in
version 2.2.1-4.6.

The testing and unstable distribution (sid) are not affected by this
problem.

We recommend that you update your python2.2 packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
