Detail
| Matt Giuca discovered a buffer overflow in python-cjson, a fast JSON encoder/decoder for Python. This allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (application crash) through a specially-crafted Python script. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.5-1+lenny1 For the testing (squeeze) and the unstable (sid) distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.5-3 We recommend that you upgrade your python-cjson package. |
