Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in Python before 2.5.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted images that trigger heap-based buffer overflows. NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en imageop.c de Python versiones anteriores a 2.5.3 permiten a atacantes dependientes de contexto provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de imágenes manipuladas que disparan desbordamientos de búfer basado en montículo. NOTA: esta cuestión es debida a una corrección incompleta para CVE-2007-4965.
