Comment 6 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-24 04:08:27 UTC
dev-lang/python-2.4.6 fixes some security vulnerabilities. The majority of them were fixed in previous versions by patches from Gentoo-specific patchsets.

The following changes seem to not be fixed in dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r15:

* http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=67200
  Security Issue #2: imageop did not validate arguments correctly and could
  segfault as a result. CVE-2008-4864.

* http://svn.python.org/view?view=rev&revision=67726
  Issue #4469: Prevent expandtabs() on string and unicode
  objects from causing a segfault when a large width is passed
  on 32-bit platforms. CVE-2008-5031.
Comment 7 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-24 04:11:36 UTC
Please stabilize dev-lang/python-2.4.6.
Comment 8 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-05-24 12:58:13 UTC

Fixed, thanks for the heads up. (What happened was that I keyworded it ~alpha - since ekeyword changed the sorting, it looked like I was doing the right thing)

 Yes, disabling sandbox helps...so x86 stable.

Imageop is disabled in all Python installs, see also bug 246006.

This is the fix for bug 246991. We will continue to keep this a security bug until all arches are done, however we will track GLSA etc at the other bug.
