<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If IPV6 is disabled in Python 2.2, getaddrinfo() is not able to handle IPV6
|
|
DNS requests properly and a buffer overflow occurs.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker can execute arbitrary code as the user running python.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users with IPV6 enabled are not affected by this vulnerability.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Python 2.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
|
|
# emerge -pv ">=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"
|
|
# emerge ">=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"</code>
|
|
</resolution>
