-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debian Security Advisory DSA-1620-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Moritz Muehlenhoff July 27, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration. Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias etch - ------------------------------- Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
