Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.
Zack Weinberg discovered that os._execvpe from os.py in Python 2.2.1 and
earlier creates temporary files with predictable names. This could allow
local users to execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack
All users should upgrade to these errata packages which include a patch to
python 1.5.2 to correct this issue.
