A flaw was found in the Python urllib and urllib2 libraries where they would not differentiate between different target URLs when handling automatic redirects. This caused Python applications using these modules to follow any new URL that they understood, including the 'file://' URL type. This could allow a remote server to force a local Python application to read a local file instead of the remote one, possibly exposing local files that were not meant to be exposed.
(CVE-2011-1521)

Multiple flaws were found in the Python audioop module. Supplying certain inputs could cause the audioop module to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1634, CVE-2010-2089)

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0491 :

Updated python packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language.

A flaw was found in the Python urllib and urllib2 libraries where they would not differentiate between different target URLs when handling automatic redirects. This caused Python applications using these modules to follow any new URL that they understood, including the 'file://' URL type. This could allow a remote server to force a local Python application to read a local file instead of the remote one, possibly exposing local files that were not meant to be exposed.
(CVE-2011-1521)

Multiple flaws were found in the Python audioop module. Supplying certain inputs could cause the audioop module to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1634, CVE-2010-2089)

A race condition was found in the way the Python smtpd module handled new connections. A remote user could use this flaw to cause a Python script using the smtpd module to terminate. (CVE-2010-3493)

An information disclosure flaw was found in the way the Python CGIHTTPServer module processed certain HTTP GET requests. A remote attacker could use a specially crafted request to obtain the CGI script's source code. (CVE-2011-1015)

A buffer over-read flaw was found in the way the Python Expat parser handled malformed UTF-8 sequences when processing XML files. A specially crafted XML file could cause Python applications using the Python Expat parser to crash while parsing the file. (CVE-2009-3720)

This update makes Python use the system Expat library rather than its own internal copy; therefore, users must have the version of Expat shipped with RHSA-2009:1625 installed, or a later version, to resolve the CVE-2009-3720 issue.

All Python users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.

- Fri Jun 4 2010 David Malcolm <dmalcolm at redhat.com> -     2.6.4-27

    - ensure that the compiler is invoked with '-fwrapv'       (rhbz#594819)

    - CVE-2010-1634: fix various integer overflow checks in       the audioop module (patch 113)

  - CVE-2010-2089: further checks within the audioop module     (patch 114)

    - CVE-2008-5983: the new PySys_SetArgvEx entry point       from r81399 (patch 115)

    - Mon Apr 26 2010 Dennis Gilmore <dennis at ausil.us> -       2.6.4-26

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

- Backport from F14: - Fix for lone surrogates, utf8 and     certain encode error handlers. - Fix an incompatibility     between pyexpat and the system expat-2.0.1 that led to a     segfault running test_pyexpat.py (patch 110; upstream     issue 9054; rhbz#610312)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

- a race condition in the accept() implementation of     smtpd.py could lead to a denial of service     (CVE-2010-3493).

  - integer overflows and insufficient size checks could     crash the audioop module (CVE-2010-2089, CVE-2010-1634).

It was found that many applications embedding the Python interpreter did not specify a valid full path to the script or application when calling the PySys_SetArgv API function, which could result in the addition of the current working directory to the module search path (sys.path). A local attacker able to trick a victim into running such an application in an attacker-controlled directory could use this flaw to execute code with the victim's privileges. This update adds the PySys_SetArgvEx API. Developers can modify their applications to use this new API, which sets sys.argv without modifying sys.path.
(CVE-2008-5983)

Multiple flaws were found in the Python rgbimg module. If an application written in Python was using the rgbimg module and loaded a specially crafted SGI image file, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2009-4134, CVE-2010-1449, CVE-2010-1450)

Multiple flaws were found in the Python audioop module. Supplying certain inputs could cause the audioop module to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-1634, CVE-2010-2089)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - When starting a child process from the subprocess module     in Python 2.4, the parent process could leak file     descriptors if an error occurred. This update resolves     the issue. (BZ#609017)

  - Prior to Python 2.7, programs that used 'ulimit -n' to     enable communication with large numbers of subprocesses     could still monitor only 1024 file descriptors at a     time, which caused an exception :

    ValueError: filedescriptor out of range in select()

This was due to the subprocess module using the 'select' system call.
The module now uses the 'poll' system call, removing this limitation.
(BZ#609020)

  - Prior to Python 2.5, the tarfile module failed to unpack     tar files if the path was longer than 100 characters.
    This update backports the tarfile module from Python 2.5     and the issue no longer occurs. (BZ#263401)

  - The email module incorrectly implemented the logic for     obtaining attachment file names: the get_filename()     fallback for using the deprecated 'name' parameter of     the 'Content-Type' header erroneously used the     'Content-Disposition' header. This update backports a     fix from Python 2.6, which resolves this issue.
    (BZ#644147)

  - Prior to version 2.5, Python's optimized memory     allocator never released memory back to the system. The     memory usage of a long-running Python process would     resemble a 'high-water mark'. This update backports a     fix from Python 2.5a1, which frees unused arenas, and     adds a non-standard sys._debugmallocstats() function,     which prints diagnostic information to stderr. Finally,     when running under Valgrind, the optimized allocator is     deactivated, to allow more convenient debugging of     Python memory usage issues. (BZ#569093)

  - The urllib and urllib2 modules ignored the no_proxy     variable, which could lead to programs such as 'yum'     erroneously accessing a proxy server for URLs covered by     a 'no_proxy' exclusion. This update backports fixes of     urllib and urllib2, which respect the 'no_proxy'     variable, which fixes these issues. (BZ#549372)

As well, this update adds the following enhancements :

  - This update introduces a new python-libs package,     subsuming the majority of the content of the core python     package. This makes both 32-bit and 64-bit Python     libraries available on PowerPC systems. (BZ#625372)

  - The python-libs.i386 package is now available for 64-bit     Itanium with the 32-bit Itanium compatibility mode.
    (BZ#644761)

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.7.x that is prior to 10.7.2. This version contains numerous security-related fixes for the following components :
