+ <title>Python 2.2: Buffer overflow in getaddrinfo()</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Python 2.2 has a vulnerability in DNS handling when IPV6 is disabled and a
+ malformed IPV6 address is encountered by getaddrinfo().
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">Python</product>
+ <announced>2004-09-02</announced>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="dev-lang/python" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">2.2.2</unaffected>
+ <unaffected range="lt">2.2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">2.2.2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented, cross-platform
+ programming language.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ If IPV6 is disabled in Python 2.2, getaddrinfo() is not able to handle IPV6
+ DNS requests properly and a buffer overflow occurs.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker can execute arbitrary code as the user running python.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Users with IPV6 enabled are not affected by this vulnerability.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Python 2.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"</code>
+ </resolution>
