<title>Python: Buffer Overflow</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|

|
|

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Benjamin C. Wiley Sittler discovered a buffer overflow in Python's
|
|
"repr()" function when handling UTF-32/UCS-4 encoded strings.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
If a Python application processes attacker-supplied data with the
|
|
"repr()" function, this could potentially lead to the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected application or a
|
|
Denial of Service.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Python users should update to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4"</code>
|
