Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/python-2.4.1-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.1.
 From the python.org site: 'The Python development team has discovered a flaw
 in the SimpleXMLRPCServer library module which can give remote attackers
 access to internals of the registered object or its module or possibly other
 modules. The flaw only affects Python XML-RPC servers that use the
 register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch()
 method. Servers using only register_function() are not affected.'
 For more details, see:
 [link moved to references]
 (* Security fix *)
patches/packages/python-demo-2.4.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.1
 demos.
patches/packages/python-tools-2.4.1-noarch-1.tgz: Upgraded to python-2.4.1
 tools.
+--------------------------+");
