python: Multiple buffer overflows in unicode processing

Multiple buffer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier on 32bit platforms allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service crash or have unspecified other impact via a long string that leads to incorrect memory allocation during Unicode string processing, related to the unicoderesize...

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : dia (MDVSA-2009:040)

Python has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary code via Python scripting in the current dia working directory CVE-2008-5984. This update...

CVE-2009-0318

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the GObject Python interpreter wrapper in Gnumeric allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse Python file in the current working directory, related to a vulnerability in the PySysSetArgv function CVE-2008-5983...

CVE-2008-5983

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the PySysSetArgv API function in Python 2.6 and earlier, and possibly later versions, prepends an empty string to sys.path when the argv0 argument does not contain a path separator, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse...

PSF-2008-1 Multiple integer overflows (Apple)

Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in Python before 2.5.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted images that trigger heap-based buffer overflows. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965...

CVE-2005-0089

The SimpleXMLRPCServer library module in Python 2.2, 2.3 before 2.3.5, and 2.4, when used by XML-RPC servers that use the registerinstance method to register an object without a dispatch method, allows remote attackers to read or modify globals of the associated module, and possibly execute...

USN-73-1: Python vulnerability

The Python developers discovered a flaw in the SimpleXMLRPCServer module. Python XML-RPC servers that used the registerinstance method to register an object, but do not have a dispatch method, allowed remote users to access or change function internals using the im and func attributes...

Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : python (MDKSA-2002:082-1)

A vulnerability was discovered in python by Zack Weinberg in the way that the execvpe method from the os.py module uses a temporary file name. The file is created in an unsafe manner and execvpe tries to execute it, which can be used by a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileg...
