Detail

Synopsis

Multiple integer overflows may allow for Denial of Service.

Background

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Python:

* David Remahl reported multiple integer overflows in the file imageop.c, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1679).
This issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.

* Justin Ferguson discovered that an integer signedness error in the zlib extension module might trigger insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow via a negative signed integer (CVE-2008-1721).

* Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in the PyString_FromStringAndSize() function might lead to a buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1887).

Impact

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial of Service or possibly the remote execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Python.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

The imageop module is no longer built in the unaffected versions.

All Python 2.3 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r6"

All Python 2.4 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r13"

The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: Piotr Engelking discovered that the strxfrm() function of the locale module miscalculates the length of an internal buffer, which may result in a minor information disclosure. It was discovered that several integer overflows in the imageop module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code, if a user is tricked into processing malformed images. This issue is also tracked as CVE-2008-1679 due to an initially incomplete patch. Justin Ferguson discovered that a buffer overflow in the zlib module may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. Justin Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in PyString_FromStringAndSize() may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

44730	Python PyString_FromStringAndSize Function Memory Allocation Overflow
44693	Python zlib Extension Module Signed Integer Handling Arbitrary Remote Code Ex... An overflow exists in python. Python fails to validate input resulting in a negative signed integer, which triggers insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
