CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2007:1077-01
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.
An integer overflow flaw was discovered in the way Pythonβs pcre module
handled certain regular expressions. If a Python application used the pcre
module to compile and execute untrusted regular expressions, it may be
possible to cause the application to crash, or allow arbitrary code
execution with the privileges of the Python interpreter. (CVE-2006-7228)
A flaw was discovered in the strxfrm() function of Pythonβs locale module.
Strings generated by this function were not properly NULL-terminated, which
could possibly cause disclosure of data stored in the memory of a Python
application using this function. (CVE-2007-2052)
Users of Python are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
