-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2007-2663 2007-10-24 07:17:31.616562 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : python Product : Fedora 7 Version : 2.5 Release : 14.fc7 URL : http://www.python.org/ Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC). Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. This package contains most of the standard Python modules, as well as modules for interfacing to the Tix widget set for Tk and RPM. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This update fixes: Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module (#295971) Also included are a dependency fix on binutils (#307221), so the ctypes module works, and a tkinter fix when dealing with zero length text in some widgets (#281751). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri Oct 19 2007 James Antill <jantill@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2.5.3-14 - Add tkinter patch - Resolves: #281751 - Fix ctypes loading of libraries, add requires on binutils - Resolves: #307221 - Possible fix for CVE-2007-4965 possible exploitable integer overflow - Resolves: #295971 * Thu Oct 18 2007 Mike Bonnet <mikeb@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2.5.3-13 - fix marshalling of objects in xmlrpclib (python bug #1739842) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #281751 - python crashes when sending an empty string to some Tkinter widgets https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=281751 [ 2 ] Bug #307221 - Missing dependency https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=307221 [ 3 ] Bug #295971 - CVE-2007-4965 python imageop module heap corruption https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=295971 [ 4 ] CVE-2007-4965 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4965 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updated packages: 19b48c55d1c81dde82c6ff5577ec8aeee741a004 python-devel-2.5-14.fc7.ppc64.rpm e3780a0d8ee1f0831840e46d69ec4856b993e531 python-debuginfo-2.5-14.fc7.ppc64.rpm 4702d8d8b56a41f9a809d6513012eaff97053f5b tkinter-2.5-14.fc7.ppc64.rpm d2912c0f1ec7049e2e12511c7df4bf3b0fbf1e62 python-tools-2.5-14.fc7.ppc64.rpm d53809ea841182f22ee59e3e4fe1ca10e68a999c python-2.5-14.fc7.ppc64.rpm 88fb6c0c27a77ffe9d7d5f536a95a35d635ae12d python-libs-2.5-14.fc7.ppc64.rpm 787611a8a8654d34199a8c9e4dcc19daf63244b7 tkinter-2.5-14.fc7.i386.rpm 078edabdd4ef06d96ba129119aa07b692187813c python-debuginfo-2.5-14.fc7.i386.rpm 8b1e8a6356dc193022a21ba5edf49da5e5f324e1 python-2.5-14.fc7.i386.rpm bc80242891a2ec1f2c5ee388c46fc7bb964c106d python-devel-2.5-14.fc7.i386.rpm b79080fa4731b51d12f979a16900a45320314d5f python-libs-2.5-14.fc7.i386.rpm 7bd18c479ef53f84caf4d7ec947b4aaae9b86423 python-tools-2.5-14.fc7.i386.rpm e616ee4bd058011a934aeb9f2b021fa7750985c9 tkinter-2.5-14.fc7.x86_64.rpm bf6ed59b839c0479a56a23283983d68a057bc0bc python-2.5-14.fc7.x86_64.rpm db37ad76506450cc64f05ae9eb1d8be81c139aaa python-debuginfo-2.5-14.fc7.x86_64.rpm 9c15efd777c73df234a28d4ac9d0a60a8ba486c9 python-devel-2.5-14.fc7.x86_64.rpm 77de8859ac4745449f54adef2e7c2b280130db82 python-libs-2.5-14.fc7.x86_64.rpm 79a0b699e4250eefbf926299bfb7eac79262f5c9 python-tools-2.5-14.fc7.x86_64.rpm ff3650bb1385ca3e27368317ab03e1d52a03c372 python-libs-2.5-14.fc7.ppc.rpm da2e84ae407934e1d510a6c5ea1a4105794182d8 python-2.5-14.fc7.ppc.rpm e330edb0f1e6f9082564455112cc285d8c6b5ceb python-devel-2.5-14.fc7.ppc.rpm f1a52deecfcaef1444352e68b55025a1414d0cae python-debuginfo-2.5-14.fc7.ppc.rpm 90fb955eac390e0fa49e51b9d29db4bdf2162833 python-tools-2.5-14.fc7.ppc.rpm a25e11ffe4add7fad8b8a4bc4031a1521689f77b tkinter-2.5-14.fc7.ppc.rpm d4d994f7acc67000375e0fa2f927a3eb0b6b1c80 python-2.5-14.fc7.src.rpm This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
