Detail
| Python has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary code via Python scripting in the current dia working directory (CVE-2008-5984). This update provides fix for that vulnerability. |
