Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in Python
1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-dependent attackers to break out of the
Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large integer values in certain
arguments to the crop function, leading to a buffer overflow, a different
vulnerability than CVE-2007-4965 and CVE-2008-1679.
