The Python Cryptography Toolkit (PyCrypto) is a collection of both + secure hash functions (such as SHA256 and RIPEMD160), and various + encryption algorithms (AES, DES, RSA, ElGamal, etc.). +

+
+ +

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been discovered in + PyCrypto. Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details. +

+
+ +

A remote attacker, able to control the mode of operation in PyCrypto’s + AES module, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of + the process or cause a Denial of Service condition. +

+
+ +

There is no known workaround at this time.

+
+ +

All PyCrypto users should upgrade to the latest version:
