[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OpenPKG-SA-2003.006 23-Jan-2003
+________________________________________________________________________
+
+Package: python
+Vulnerability: predictable filename allows arbitrary code execution
+OpenPKG Specific: no
+
+Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
+OpenPKG CURRENT <= python-2.2.1-20020820 >= python-2.2.2-20021015
+OpenPKG 1.2 none N.A.
+OpenPKG 1.1 <= python-2.2.1-1.1.0 >= python-2.2.1-1.1.1
+
+Affected Releases: Dependent Packages: none
+
+Description:
+ Zack Weinberg discovered an insecure use of a hardcoded file name [0]
+ in Python, a interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
+ language [1]. Python uses a predictable filename which could lead to
+ execution of arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
+ (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2002-1119 [2] to the problem.
+
+ Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
+ python". If you have the "python" package installed and its version is
+ affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
+ (see Solution) and it's dependent packages (see above), if any, too.
+ [3][4]
+
+Solution:
+ Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
+ [5], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [6] or a mirror location,
+ verify its integrity [7], build a corresponding binary RPM from it [3]
+ and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the binary RPM [4].
+ For the release OpenPKG 1.1, perform the following operations to
+ permanently fix the security problem (for other releases adjust
+ accordingly).
+
+ $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
+ ftp> bin
+ ftp> cd release/1.1/UPD
+ ftp> get python-2.2.1-1.1.1.src.rpm
+ ftp> bye
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm -v --checksig python-2.2.1-1.1.1.src.rpm
+ $ <prefix>/bin/rpm --rebuild python-2.2.1-1.1.1.src.rpm
+ $ su -
+ # <prefix>/bin/rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/python-2.2.1-1.1.1.*.rpm
