Detail

Multiple integer overflows in Python 2.2.3 through 2.5.1, and 2.6, allow context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a large integer value in the tabsize argument to the expandtabs method, as implemented by (1) the string_expandtabs function in Objects/stringobject.c and (2) the unicode_expandtabs function in Objects/unicodeobject.c. NOTE: this vulnerability reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2008-2315.

Title: USN-806-1 -- python2.4, python2.5 vulnerabilities
Description: 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. 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
