Detail

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).

Title: VMware security updates for vSphere API and ESX Service Console
Description: Python 2.6 through 3.2 creates ~/.pypirc with world-readable permissions before changing them after data has been written, which introduces a race condition that allows local users to obtain a username and password by reading this file.

Title: VMware security updates for vSphere API and ESX Service Console
Description: The XML parser (xmlparse.c) in expat before 2.1.0 computes hash values without restricting the ability to trigger hash collisions predictably, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via an XML file with many identifiers with the same value.
