Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : python (MDKSA-2002:082-1)

A vulnerability was discovered in python by Zack Weinberg in the way that the execvpe() method from the os.py module uses a temporary file name. The file is created in an unsafe manner and execvpe() tries to execute it, which can be used by a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user running the python code that is using this method.

Update :

The previously released packages for 9.0 had an incorrect dependency on libdb.so.2 instead of libdb.so.3. This update corrects that problem.
