This version:

python-2.3.3.ebuild:KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc hppa amd64 s390 alpha ia64 ppc64"

is not affected and is pretty much stable on * (heck, even s390).

Vulnerability can be found here with many a reference:

Debian and Mandrake already have security announcements out.  I believe we
should have one too (considering how extensively used python is on gentoo..).
