    <title>Babel: Remote code execution</title>
    <synopsis>A vulnerability in Babel could result in remote code execution.</synopsis>
    <product type="ebuild">Babel</product>

    <bug>786954</bug>
    <access>remote</access>
    <affected>
        <package name="dev-python/Babel" auto="yes" arch="*">
            <unaffected range="ge">2.9.1</unaffected>
            <vulnerable range="lt">2.9.1</vulnerable>
        </package>
    </affected>
    <background>
        <p>Babel is a collection of tools for internationalizing Python applications.</p>
    </background>
    <description>
        <p>Babel does not properly restrict which sources a locale can be loaded from. If Babel loads an attacker-controlled .dat file, arbitrary code execution can be achieved via unsafe Pickle deserialization.</p>
    </description>
    <impact type="normal">
        <p>An attacker with filesystem access and control over the locales Babel loads can achieve code execution.</p>
    </impact>
    <workaround>
        <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
    </workaround>
    <resolution>
        <p>All Babel users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
        
        <code>
          # emerge --sync
          # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-python/Babel-2.9.1"
        </code>
