-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:117 http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : python Date : April 10, 2013 Affected: Business Server 1.0 _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Updated python packages fix security vulnerabilities: A race condition was found in the way the Python distutils module set file permissions during the creation of the .pypirc file. If a local user had access to the home directory of another user who is running distutils, they could use this flaw to gain access to that user's .pypirc file, which can contain usernames and passwords for code repositories (CVE-2011-4944). Additionally, python has been built against the system expat and ffi libraries, to avoid any future issues with those (mitigates CVE-2012-0876 for expat). _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-4944 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-0170 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGAA-2012-0160 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Business Server 1/X86_64: b881c50649d40cd289121dcb9096a0ce mbs1/x86_64/lib64python2.7-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.x86_64.rpm a6f9acad83631a08138a5625d293053a mbs1/x86_64/lib64python-devel-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 6ac2a0c1a3ad370e86d8254f2d9bef46 mbs1/x86_64/python-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 65d2e7117491b520c81f5caf2641839a mbs1/x86_64/python-docs-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.noarch.rpm e2e6a3dc44a5010a21455142d0e27eac mbs1/x86_64/tkinter-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 831aa6af3b0dfaad7811e35ef3174823 mbs1/x86_64/tkinter-apps-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.x86_64.rpm 1a2d2c13cef451bf074a259004e7280f mbs1/SRPMS/python-2.7.3-4.3.mbs1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
