The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'python2.4' package(s) announced via the DSA-1551-1 advisory. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the Python language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2007-2052, CVE-2007-4965, CVE-2008-1679, CVE-2008-1721, CVE-2008-1887. For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.4-3+etch1. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.5-2. We recommend that you upgrade your python2.4 packages

CVE-2007-2052

Piotr Engelking discovered that the strxfrm() function of the locale module miscalculates the length of an internal buffer, which may result in a minor information disclosure.

CVE-2007-4965

It was discovered that several integer overflows in the imageop module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, if a user is tricked into processing malformed images. This issue is also tracked as CVE-2008-1679 due to an initially incomplete patch.

CVE-2008-1721

Justin Ferguson discovered that a buffer overflow in the zlib module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2008-1887

Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in PyString_FromStringAndSize() may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.4-3+etch1.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.5-2.
