Debian Security Advisory DSA 821-1 security@debian.org

September 28th, 2005 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : python2.3
Vulnerability : integer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2005-2491
BugTraq ID : 14620
Debian Bug : 324531

An integer overflow with a subsequent buffer overflow has been detected
in PCRE, the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions library, which allows
an attacker to execute arbitrary code, and is also present in Python.
Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to specify the used
regular expression.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain python2.3 packages.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.5-3sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.5-8.

We recommend that you upgrade your python2.3 packages.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
