Package name python
Date August 26th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:154
Affected versions 10.0, 10.1, CS2.1, CS3.0, MNF2.0
Synopsis Updated python packages fix integer overflow vulnerability

Problem Description

Integer overflow in pcre_compile.c in Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions (PCRE) before 6.2, as used in multiple products, allows
attackers to execute arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular
expressions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

The python packages use a private copy of pcre code.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem.
