  under certain circumstances. A local attacker with write access to the
  current working directory could exploit this to execute arbitrary code.
  This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-5983)

  It was discovered that the audioop module did not correctly perform input
  validation. If a user or automatated system were tricked into opening a
  crafted audio file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via
  application crash. These issues only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
  (CVE-2010-1634, CVE-2010-2089)
  
  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 update 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)
  
  Serhiy Storchaka discovered that the UTF16 decoder in Python did not
  properly reset internal variables after error handling. An attacker could
  exploit this to cause a denial of service via memory corruption.
