tag_insight = "Niels Heinen discovered that the urllib and urllib2 modules would
process Location headers that specify a redirection to file: URLs. A
remote attacker could exploit this to obtain sensitive information or
cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04.
(CVE-2011-1521)
It was discovered that SimpleHTTPServer did not use a charset parameter
in the Content-Type HTTP header. An attacker could potentially exploit
this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against Internet
Explorer 7 users. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04. (CVE-2011-4940)
It was discovered that Python distutils contained a race condition when
creating the ~/.pypirc file. A local attacker could exploit this to
obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2011-4944)
It was discovered that SimpleXMLRPCServer did not properly validate its
input when handling HTTP POST requests. A remote attacker could exploit
this to cause a denial of service via excessive CPU utilization.
(CVE-2012-0845)
It was discovered that Python was susceptible to hash algorithm attacks.
An attacker could cause a denial of service under certain circumstances.
This updates adds the '-R' command line option and honors setting the
PYTHONHASHSEED environment variable to 'random' to salt str and datetime
objects with an unpredictable value. (CVE-2012-1150)";
