Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the PyOS_vsnprintf function in Python/mysnprintf.c in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via crafted input to string formatting operations. NOTE: the handling of certain integer values is also affected by related integer underflows and an off-by-one error.

Múltiples desbordamientos de enterod en la función PyOS_vsnprintf en Python/mysnprintf.c en Python 2.5.2 y anteriores. Permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto causar denegación de servicio (corrupción de la memoria) o tiene otro impacto no especificado a través de entradas manipuladas a operaciones de formateo de cadenas de caracteres. NOTA: el manejo de ciertos valores de enteros está también influenciado por desbordamientos inferiores de enteros relacionados y un error de superación del límite (off-by-one).
