<description>
<p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Python. Please review
the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted index
file using Pythons dumbdbm module, possibly resulting in execution of
arbitrary code with the privileges of the process.
</p>
<p>A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted
input stream using Pythons zipimporter module, possibly allowing
attackers to cause unspecified impact.
</p>
<p>A man in the middle attacker could strip out the STARTTLS command
without generating an exception on the Python SMTP client application,
preventing the establishment of the TLS layer.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All Python 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.7.12:2.7"
</code>
<p>All Python 3 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-3.4.5:3.4"
</code>
