Detail

Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in Python 1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-dependent attackers to break out of the Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large integer values in certain arguments to the crop function, leading to a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4965 and CVE-2008-1679.

Id Description
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.
