Package        : python
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary files
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no

Zack Weinberg discovered an insecure use of a temporary file in
os._execvpe from os.py.  It uses a predictable name which could lead
execution of arbitrary code.

This problem has been fixed in several versions of Python: For the
current stable distribution (woody) it has been fixed in version
1.5.2-23.1 of Python 1.5, in version 2.1.3-3.1 of Python 2.1 and in
version 2.2.1-4.1 of Python 2.2.  For the old stable distribution
(potato) this has been fixed in version 1.5.2-10potato12 for Python
1.5.  For the unstable distribution (sid) this has been fixed in
version 1.5.2-24 of Python 1.5, in version 2.1.3-6a of Python 2.1 and
in version 2.2.1-8 of Python 2.2.  Python 2.3 is not affected by this
problem.

We recommend that you upgrade your Python packages immediately.

wget url
	will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

  Please note that python source package produces more binary packages
  than the ones listed above, which are note relevant for the fixed
  problems, though.

  These files will probably be moved into the stable distribution on
  its next revision.
