Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201401-4 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Python, worst of which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 3.3.2-r1 are affected.
ea1459ef6b2a4cd82ae9954fd97f9d0188e19037466f94dc888a2a8b46709ebcUbuntu Security Notice 1613-2 - USN-1613-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Python 2.5. This update provides the corresponding updates for Python 2.4. It was discovered that Python would prepend an empty string to sys.path under certain circumstances. A local attacker with write access to the current working directory could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker with write access to the current working directory could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the audioop module did not correctly perform input validation. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted audio file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash. Various other issues were also addressed.

A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via daemon outage. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Niels Heinen discovered that the urllib module in Python 3 would process Location headers that specify a file:// URL. A remote attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service via resource consumption. Various other issues were also addressed.

Multiple race conditions in smtpd.py in the smtpd module in Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 alpha allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service by establishing and then immediately closing a TCP connection, leading to the accept function having an unexpected return value of None, an unexpected value of None for the address, or an ECONNABORTED, EAGAIN, or EWOULDBLOCK error, or the getpeername function having an ENOTCONN error, a related issue to CVE-2010-3492. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Integer overflow in rgbimgmodule.c in the rgbimg module in Python 2.5 allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via a large image that triggers a buffer overflow. Multiple buffer overflows in the RLE decoder in the rgbimg module in Python 2.5 allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact via an image file containing crafted data that triggers improper processing within the expandrow function. The asyncore module in Python before 3.2 does not properly handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function, and does not have accompanying documentation describing how daemon applications should handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct denial of service attacks that terminate these applications via network connections.
