Python was updated to fix a security issue in the socket.recvfrom_into function, where data could be written over the end of the buffer.
(CVE-2014-1912)

This python update fixes the following security and non-security issues :

  - bnc#869222: Fixed DoS when opening malicious archives     (CVE-2013-7338).

  - bnc#863741: Fixed buffer overflow in     socket.recvfrom_into (CVE-2014-1912).

  - bnc#871152: Fixed race condition with umask when     creating directories with os.mkdirs (CVE-2014-2667).

  - bnc#637176: Fixed update multilib patch to handle home     install scheme.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:1330 advisory.

    Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language     often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme, or Java. Python includes modules,     classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing.
    Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as     to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).

    It was discovered that the socket.recvfrom_into() function failed to check     the size of the supplied buffer. This could lead to a buffer overflow when     the function was called with an insufficiently sized buffer.
    (CVE-2014-1912)

    It was discovered that multiple Python standard library modules     implementing network protocols (such as httplib or smtplib) failed to     restrict the sizes of server responses. A malicious server could cause a     client using one of the affected modules to consume an excessive amount of     memory. (CVE-2013-1752)

    It was discovered that the CGIHTTPServer module incorrectly handled URL     encoded paths. A remote attacker could use this flaw to execute scripts     outside of the cgi-bin directory, or disclose the source code of the     scripts in the cgi-bin directory. (CVE-2014-4650)

    An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the buffer() function handled     its offset and size arguments. An attacker able to control these arguments     could use this flaw to disclose portions of the application memory or cause     it to crash. (CVE-2014-7185)

    These updated python packages also include numerous bug fixes and     enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this     advisory. For information on the most significant of these changes, users     are directed to the following article on the Red Hat Customer Portal:

    https://access.redhat.com/articles/1495363

    All python users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which     contain backported patches to correct these issues and add this     enhancement.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1330 advisory.

    - Fix CVE-2014-7185/4650/1912 CVE-2013-1752     Resolves: rhbz#1206572
