Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:048-2

http://www.mandriva.com/security/

_______________________________________________________________________

 

Package : epiphany

Date : February 25, 2009

Affected: 2008.1

_______________________________________________________________________

 

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

(CVE-2008-5985).

 

This update provides fix for that vulnerability.

 

Update:

 

The previous update package was not built against the correct (latest)

libxulrunner-1.9.0.6 library (fixes #48163)
