Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : python (MDVSA-2008:085)

Integer signedness error in the zlib extension module in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative signed integer, which triggers insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow CVE-2008-1721. A buffer overflow vulnerability was also found in t...

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS / 7.04 / 7.10 / 8.04 LTS : python2.4, python2.5 vulnerabilities (USN-632-1)

It was discovered that there were new integer overflows in the imageop module. If an attacker were able to trick a Python application into processing a specially crafted image, they could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. CVE-2008-1679 Justin Ferguson discovered that the zlib module di...

Buffer overflow

Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors that cause a negative size value to be provided to the PyStringFromStringAndSize function, which allocates less memory than expected when assert is disabled and triggers a buffer overflow...
