Detail
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Ubuntu 8.10 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS: Ubuntu 8.10: After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: It was discovered that Python incorrectly handled certain arguments in the imageop module. If an attacker were able to pass specially crafted arguments through the crop function, they could execute arbitrary code with user privileges. For Python 2.5, this issue only affected Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-4864) Multiple integer overflows were discovered in Python's stringobject and unicodeobject expandtabs method. If an attacker were able to exploit these flaws they could execute arbitrary code with user privileges or cause Python applications to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2008-5031) |

50097 | Python imageop Module imageop.c crop Function Multiple Overflows An integer overflow exists in python. Python fails to validate input in imageop.c of the imageop module which results in an integer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
