   An update that solves 5 vulnerabilities and has three fixes
   is now available. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This update to python 2.6.8 fixes the following bugs, among
   others:

   * XMLRPC Server DoS (CVE-2012-0845, bnc#747125)
   * hash randomization issues (CVE-2012-1150, bnc#751718)
   * insecure creation of .pypirc (CVE-2011-4944,
   bnc#754447)
   * SimpleHTTPServer XSS (CVE-2011-1015, bnc#752375)
   * functions can accept unicode kwargs (bnc#744287)
   * python MainThread lacks ident (bnc#754547)
   * TypeError: waitpid() takes no keyword arguments
   (bnc#751714)
   * Source code exposure in CGIHTTPServer module
   (CVE-2011-1015, bnc#674646)
   * Insecure redirect processing in urllib2
   (CVE-2011-1521, bnc#682554)

   The hash randomization fix is by default disabled to keep
   compatibility  with existing python code when it extracts
   hashes.

   To enable the hash seed randomization you can use: - pass
   -R to the python  interpreter commandline. - set the
   environment variable  PYTHONHASHSEED=random to enable it
   for programs. You can also set this  environment variable
   to a fixed hash seed by specifying a integer value  between
   0 and MAX_UINT.

   In generally enabling this is only needed when malicious
   third parties can  inject values into your hash tables.

   The update to 2.6.8 also provides many compatibility fixes
   with OpenStack.
