 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDVSA-2009:036
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package : python
 Date    : February 12, 2009
 Affected: Corporate 3.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in
 Python 1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-dependent attackers to
 break out of the Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large
 integer values in certain arguments to the crop function, leading to
 a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4965 and
 CVE-2008-1679. (CVE-2008-4864)
 
 Multiple integer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow
 context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via vectors
 related to the (1) stringobject, (2) unicodeobject, (3) bufferobject,
 (4) longobject, (5) tupleobject, (6) stropmodule, (7) gcmodule, and
 (8) mmapmodule modules. NOTE: The expandtabs integer overflows in
 stringobject and unicodeobject in 2.5.2 are covered by CVE-2008-5031.
 
 Multiple integer overflows in Python 2.2.3 through 2.5.1, and 2.6,
 allow context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via
 a large integer value in the tabsize argument to the expandtabs
 method, as implemented by (1) the string_expandtabs function in
 Objects/stringobject.c and (2) the unicode_expandtabs function in
 Objects/unicodeobject.c. NOTE: this vulnerability reportedly exists
 because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2315. (CVE-2008-5031)
 
 The updated Python packages have been patched to correct these issues.
