 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2008:163
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : python
 Date    : August 7, 2008
 Affected: 2007.1, 2008.0, 2008.1
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module in Python prior to
 2.5.3 allowed context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
 (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted images that
 trigger heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-1679).  This was due
 to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.
 
 David Remahl of Apple Product Security reported several integer
 overflows in a number of core modules (CVE-2008-2315).  He also
 reported an integer overflow in the hashlib module on Python 2.5 that
 lead to unreliable cryptographic digest results (CVE-2008-2316).
 
 Justin Ferguson reported multiple buffer overflows in unicode string
 processing that affected 32bit systems (CVE-2008-3142).
 
 Multiple integer overflows were reported by the Google Security Team
 that had been fixed in Python 2.5.2 (CVE-2008-3143).
 
 Justin Ferguson reported a number of integer overflows and underflows
 in the PyOS_vsnprintf() function, as well as an off-by-one error
 when passing zero-length strings, that led to memory corruption
 (CVE-2008-3144).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
 As well, Python packages on Mandriva Linux 2007.1 and 2008.0 have
 been updated to version 2.5.2.  Due to slight packaging changes on
 Mandriva Linux 2007.1, a new package is available (tkinter-apps) that
 contains binary files (such as /usr/bin/idle) that were previously
 in the tkinter package.
