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). 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 Corporate Server 4 have been updated to the latest version 2.4.5. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1679 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2315 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3142 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3143 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3144 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Corporate 4.0: 900137924c889fa7d005ab3d895243c8 corporate/4.0/i586/libpython2.4-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm 7c3de61878f0c0bac533f9a51c0dea81 corporate/4.0/i586/libpython2.4-devel-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm 490ccd940ea503dca0a761d9bfacc5da corporate/4.0/i586/python-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm a4617bf6d939be01e0f114c1906ea66c corporate/4.0/i586/python-base-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm 8445ef65b15c5dea104e05f9090664e1 corporate/4.0/i586/python-docs-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm c1d2948b33c23fe810e462b92667901b corporate/4.0/i586/tkinter-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.i586.rpm f0043982cc31ea43c0957b8eaf72cddf corporate/4.0/SRPMS/python-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.src.rpm Corporate 4.0/X86_64: 540b5dbd4692ba0d2a9e3b17785f8ea2 corporate/4.0/x86_64/lib64python2.4-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm 551b23b1225cd32f7e41c118c3ee4faa corporate/4.0/x86_64/lib64python2.4-devel-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm 1f03aadf3fb3319212969c95e6a12fce corporate/4.0/x86_64/python-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm 143ee3746b47d8a2eaeab35f828885fb corporate/4.0/x86_64/python-base-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm ce41c796e4fa6d40fe9f987a46613f24 corporate/4.0/x86_64/python-docs-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm a77cc847126150d324f4c6f594f3bfbe corporate/4.0/x86_64/tkinter-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.x86_64.rpm f0043982cc31ea43c0957b8eaf72cddf corporate/4.0/SRPMS/python-2.4.5-0.1.20060mlcs4.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
