RHSA-2006:0713 - Security Advisory
Synopsis
python security update
Type/Severity
Security Advisory: Important
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated Python packages are now available to correct a security issue in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4.
This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
Description
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.
A flaw was discovered in the way that the Python repr() function handled
UTF-32/UCS-4 strings. If an application written in Python used the repr()
function on untrusted data, this could lead to a denial of service or
possibly allow the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
Python application. (CVE-2006-4980)
In addition, this errata fixes a regression in the SimpleXMLRPCServer
backport for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 that was introduced with RHSA-2005:109.
Users of Python should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch to correct this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
