Description Tomas Hoger 2008-11-03 09:36:58 UTC

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2008-4864 to the following vulnerability:

Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in
Python 1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-dependent attackers to break
out of the Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large integer
values in certain arguments to the crop function, leading to a buffer
overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4965 and
CVE-2008-1679.

Has this been addressed everywhere? The only python 2.5 we actively ship in Fedora is 2.5.2 in the F-10 branch, which looks to have addressed this CVE.
