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.

Update:

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.
