Security Advisory - Python before 2.5.3 - CVE-2008-1679

Released: Jun 11, 2008     Updated: Jun 11, 2008

Description

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.
