Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong
handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary
code via Python scripting in the current Epiphany working directory
(CVE-2008-5985).

This update provides fix for that vulnerability.

Update:

The previous update package was not built against the correct (latest)
libxulrunner-1.9.0.6 library (fixes #48163)

Affected: 2009.0";
