(Python: Multiple integer overflows)

    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Python:
    David
    Remahl reported multiple integer overflows in the file imageop.c,
    leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1679). This issue is
    due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.
    Justin Ferguson
    discovered that an integer signedness error in the zlib extension
    module might trigger insufficient memory allocation and a buffer
    overflow via a negative signed integer (CVE-2008-1721).
    Justin
    Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in the
    PyString_FromStringAndSize() function might lead to a buffer overflow
    (CVE-2008-1887).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial
    of Service or possibly the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
    privileges of the user running Python.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
