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.
