    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.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2010-3493
    Multiple race conditions in smtpd.py in the smtpd module in Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 alpha allow
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon outage) by establishing and then immediately closing
    a TCP connection, leading to the accept function having an unexpected return value of None, an unexpected
    value of None for the address, or an ECONNABORTED, EAGAIN, or EWOULDBLOCK error, or the getpeername
    function having an ENOTCONN error, a related issue to CVE-2010-3492.
    CVE-2011-1015
    The is_cgi method in CGIHTTPServer.py in the CGIHTTPServer module in Python 2.5, 2.6, and 3.0 allows
    remote attackers to read script source code via an HTTP GET request that lacks a / (slash) character at
    the beginning of the URI.
    CVE-2011-1521
    The urllib and urllib2 modules in Python 2.x before 2.7.2 and 3.x before 3.2.1 process Location headers
    that specify redirection to file: URLs, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive
    information or cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted URL, as demonstrated by the
    file:///etc/passwd and file:///dev/zero URLs.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
