    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl,
    Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and
    dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various
    windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).
    Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension
    language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard
    Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM.
    Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package.
    Fixed bugs:
    CVE-2007-2052
    Off-by-one error in the PyLocale_strxfrm function in Modules/_localemodule.c for Python 2.4 and 2.5 causes
    an incorrect buffer size to be used for the strxfrm function, which allows context-dependent attackers to
    read portions of memory via unknown manipulations that trigger a buffer over-read due to missing null
    termination.
    CVE-2007-4965
    Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module in Python 2.5.1 and earlier allow context-dependent
    attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly obtain sensitive information
    (memory contents) via crafted arguments to (1) the tovideo method, and unspecified other vectors related
    to (2) imageop.c, (3) rbgimgmodule.c, and other files, which trigger heap-based buffer overflows.
    CVE-2008-1721
    Integer signedness error in the zlib extension module in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows remote attackers
    to execute arbitrary code via a negative signed integer, which triggers insufficient memory allocation and
    a buffer overflow.
    CVE-2008-1887
    Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors
    that cause a negative size value to be provided to the PyString_FromStringAndSize function, which
    allocates less memory than expected when assert() is disabled and triggers a buffer overflow.
    CVE-2008-2315
    Multiple integer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to have an
    unknown impact via vectors related to the (1) stringobject, (2) unicodeobject, (3) bufferobject, (4)
    longobject, (5) tupleobject, (6) stropmodule, (7) gcmodule, and (8) mmapmodule modules. NOTE: The
    expandtabs integer overflows in stringobject and unicodeobject in 2.5.2 are covered by CVE-2008-5031.
    CVE-2008-3142
    Multiple buffer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier on 32bit platforms allow context-dependent attackers
    to cause a denial of service (crash) or have unspecified other impact via a long string that leads to
    incorrect memory allocation during Unicode string processing, related to the unicode_resize function and
    the PyMem_RESIZE macro.
    CVE-2008-3143
    Multiple integer overflows in Python before 2.5.2 might allow context-dependent attackers to have an
    unknown impact via vectors related to (1) Include/pymem.h; (2) _csv.c, (3) _struct.c, (4) arraymodule.c,
    (5) audioop.c, (6) binascii.c, (7) cPickle.c, (8) cStringIO.c, (9) cjkcodecs/multibytecodec.c, (10)
    datetimemodule.c, (11) md5.c, (12) rgbimgmodule.c, and (13) stropmodule.c in Modules/; (14)
    bufferobject.c, (15) listobject.c, and (16) obmalloc.c in Objects/; (17) Parser/node.c; and (18) asdl.c,
    (19) ast.c, (20) bltinmodule.c, and (21) compile.c in Python/, as addressed by checks for integer
    overflows, contributed by Google.
    CVE-2008-3144
    Multiple integer overflows in the PyOS_vsnprintf function in Python/mysnprintf.c in Python 2.5.2 and
    earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have
    unspecified other impact via crafted input to string formatting operations. NOTE: the handling of certain
    integer values is also affected by related integer underflows and an off-by-one error.
    CVE-2008-4864
    Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in Python 1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-
    dependent attackers to break out of the Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large integer values in
    certain arguments to the crop function, leading to a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than
    CVE-2007-4965 and CVE-2008-1679.
    CVE-2008-5031
    Multiple integer overflows in Python 2.2.3 through 2.5.1, and 2.6, allow context-dependent attackers to
    have an unknown impact via a large integer value in the tabsize argument to the expandtabs method, as
    implemented by (1) the string_expandtabs function in Objects/stringobject.c and (2) the unicode_expandtabs
    function in Objects/unicodeobject.c. NOTE: this vulnerability reportedly exists because of an incomplete
    fix for CVE-2008-2315.
