Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-10-14 18:55:14 UTC
From ${URL} :

Description

A security issue has been reported in SciPy, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to 
potentially gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the "scipy.weave" component creating temporary directories in 
an insecure manner and can be exploited to e.g. place code that would be executed as the user 
running "scipy.weave".

The security issue is reported in versions prior to 0.12.1.


Solution:
Update to version 0.12.1.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Florian Weimer, Red Hat Product Security Team
