    Package : python2.5
    Vulnerability : several
    Problem type : local(remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-2052 CVE-2007-4965 CVE-2008-1679 CVE-2008-1721 CVE-2008-1887

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

    CVE-2007-2052

    Piotr Engelking discovered that the strxfrm() function of the locale
    module miscalculates the length of an internal buffer, which may
    result in a minor information disclosure.

    CVE-2007-4965

    It was discovered that several integer overflows in the imageop
    module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, if a user is
    tricked into processing malformed images. This issue is also
    tracked as CVE-2008-1679 due to an initially incomplete patch.

    CVE-2008-1721

    Justin Ferguson discovered that a buffer overflow in the zlib
    module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

    CVE-2008-1887

    Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in
    PyString_FromStringAndSize() may lead to the execution of arbitrary
    code.

    For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.5-5+etch1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
    version 2.5.2-3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python2.5 packages.

    Upgrade instructions
