A regression has been identified in the python2.6 update of DLA-25-1,
which may cause python applications to abort if they were running during
the upgrade but they had not already imported the โ€˜osโ€™ module, and do so
after the upgrade. This update fixes this upgrade scenario.

For reference, the original advisory text follows.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in python2.6. The more
relevant are:

  • CVE-2013-4238
    Incorrect handling of NUL bytes in certificate hostnames may allow
    server spoofing via specially-crafted certificates signed by
    a trusted Certification Authority.
  • CVE-2014-1912
    Buffer overflow in socket.recvfrom_into leading to application
    crash and possibly code execution.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in python2.6 version 2.6.6-8+deb6u2
