Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4965)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read memory contents or crash the application.

Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module in Python 2.5.1 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly obtain sensitive information (memory contents) via crafted arguments to (1) the tovideo method, and unspecified other vectors related to (2) imageop.c, (3) rbgimgmodule.c, and other files, which trigger heap-based buffer overflows.
