Package : epiphany
Date : February 20, 2009
Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0

Problem Description:
Python has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where
Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong
handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary
code via Python scripting in the current Epiphany working directory
