Multiple flaws were found in the Python rgbimg module. If an application
written in Python was using the rgbimg module and loaded a
specially-crafted SGI image file, it could cause the application to crash
or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application. (CVE-2009-4134, CVE-2010-1449, CVE-2010-1450)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
* Python 2.3.4's time.strptime() function did not correctly handle the '%W'
week number format string. This update backports the _strptime
implementation from Python 2.3.6, fixing this issue. (BZ#436001)
* Python 2.3.4's socket.htons() function returned partially-uninitialized
data on IBM System z, generally leading to incorrect results. (BZ#513341)
* Python 2.3.4's pwd.getpwuid() and grp.getgrgid() functions did not
support the full range of user and group IDs on 64-bit architectures,
leading to 'OverflowError' exceptions for large input values. This update
adds support for the full range of user and group IDs on 64-bit
architectures. (BZ#497540)
Users of Python should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.");
