Package        : python2.4
Vulnerability  : several
Problem type   : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-2315 CVE-2008-3142 CVE-2008-3143 CVE-2008-3144

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the
Python language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
identifies the following problems:

CVE-2008-2315

    David Remahl discovered several integer overflows in the
    stringobject, unicodeobject,  bufferobject, longobject,
    tupleobject, stropmodule, gcmodule, and mmapmodule modules.

CVE-2008-3142

    Justin Ferguson discovered that incorrect memory allocation in
    the unicode_resize() function can lead to buffer overflows.

CVE-2008-3143
 
    Several integer overflows were discovered in various Python core
    modules.

CVE-2008-3144

    Several integer oberflows were discovered in the PyOS_vsnprintf()
    function.  

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.4-3+etch2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the upcoming stable
distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.4.5-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your python2.4 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.


Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch
- -------------------------------

Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, 
mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
