CVE-2008-2315

David Remahl discovered several integer overflows in the stringobject, unicodeobject, bufferobject, longobject, tupleobject, stropmodule, gcmodule, and mmapmodule modules.

CVE-2008-3142

Justin Ferguson discovered that incorrect memory allocation in the unicode_resize() function can lead to buffer overflows.

CVE-2008-3143

Several integer overflows were discovered in various Python core modules.

CVE-2008-3144

Several integer overflows were discovered in the PyOS_vsnprintf() function.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.4-3+etch2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) and the upcoming stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.5-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your python2.4 packages.");
