{"id":"MGASA-2014-0085","summary":"Updated python & python3 packages fix multiple vulnerabilities","details":"Updated python and python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities:\n\nA vulnerability was reported in Python's socket module, due to a boundary\nerror within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be exploited to\ncause a buffer overflow.  This could be used to crash a Python application\nthat uses the socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary\ncode with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code\n(CVE-2014-1912).\n\nThis updates the python package to version 2.7.6, which fixes several other\nbugs, including denial of service flaws due to unbound readline() calls in\nthe ftplib and nntplib modules (CVE-2013-1752).\n\nThe python3 package has been patched to fix the CVE-2014-1912 issue.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:25:43.362251546Z","published":"2014-02-19T21:24:08Z","upstream":["CVE-2013-1752","CVE-2014-1912"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0085.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"http://bugs.python.org/issue20246"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://hg.python.org/cpython/raw-file/99d03261c1ba/Misc/NEWS"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-February/128243.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/package-announce/2014-February/128361.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1046174"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/12/23/10"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12127"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12772"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.7.6-1.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0085.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3","ecosystem":"Mageia:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python3?arch=source&distro=mageia-3"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.3.0-4.6.mga3"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0085.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.7.6-1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0085.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python3","ecosystem":"Mageia:4","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/python3?arch=source&distro=mageia-4"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.3.2-13.1.mga4"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2014-0085.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
