Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Python could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description: - python2.7: An interactive high-level object-oriented language - python3.3: An interactive high-level object-oriented language - python3.2: An interactive high-level object-oriented language - python2.6: An interactive high-level object-oriented language

Details:

Ryan Smith-Roberts discovered that Python incorrectly handled buffer sizes when using the socket.recvfrom_into() function. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Python to crash, resulting in denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
python2.7 2.7.5-8ubuntu3.1
python2.7-minimal 2.7.5-8ubuntu3.1
python3.3 3.3.2-7ubuntu3.1
python3.3-minimal 3.3.2-7ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
python2.7 2.7.3-5ubuntu4.4
python2.7-minimal 2.7.3-5ubuntu4.4
python3.2 3.2.3-6ubuntu3.5
python3.2-minimal 3.2.3-6ubuntu3.5
python3.3 3.3.0-1ubuntu0.2
python3.3-minimal 3.3.0-1ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python2.7 2.7.3-0ubuntu3.5
python2.7-minimal 2.7.3-0ubuntu3.5
python3.2 3.2.3-0ubuntu3.6
python3.2-minimal 3.2.3-0ubuntu3.6

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
python2.6 2.6.5-1ubuntu6.3
python2.6-minimal 2.6.5-1ubuntu6.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
