Detail

Multiple integer overflows in the PyOS_vsnprintf function in Python/mysnprintf.c in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via crafted input to string formatting operations. NOTE: the handling of certain integer values is also affected by related integer underflows and an off-by-one error.

Title:	DSA-1667 python2.4 -- several vulnerabilities
Description:	Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the interpreter for the Python language. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: David Remahl discovered several integer overflows in the stringobject, unicodeobject, bufferobject, longobject, tupleobject, stropmodule, gcmodule, and mmapmodule modules. Justin Ferguson discovered that incorrect memory allocation in the unicode_resize() function can lead to buffer overflows. Several integer overflows were discovered in various Python core modules. Several integer overflows were discovered in the PyOS_vsnprintf() function.
