Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:099
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : python
Date : May 8, 2007
Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Multi Network Firewall 2.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

An off-by-one error was discovered in the PyLocale_strxfrm function
in Python 2.4 and 2.5 that could allow context-dependent attackers
the ability to read portions of memory via special manipulations that
trigger a buffer over-read due to missing null termination.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
