Recommended Posts

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in python:

 

Multiple integer overflows in audioop.c in the audioop module in

Ptthon allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service

(application crash) via a large fragment, as demonstrated by a call

to audioop.lin2lin with a long string in the first argument, leading

to a buffer overflow. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an

incorrect fix for CVE-2008-3143.5 (CVE-2010-1634).

 

The audioop module in Python does not verify the relationships between

size arguments and byte string lengths, which allows context-dependent

attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and

application crash) via crafted arguments, as demonstrated by a call

to audioop.reverse with a one-byte string, a different vulnerability

than CVE-2010-1634 (CVE-2010-2089).

 

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended

Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
