Ubuntu Security Notice 585-1 - Piotr Engelking discovered that strxfrm in Python was not correctly calculating the size of the destination buffer. This could lead to small information leaks, which might be used by attackers to gain additional knowledge about the state of a running Python script. A flaw was discovered in the Python imageop module. If a script using the module could be tricked into processing a specially crafted set of arguments, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code, or cause the application to crash.

VMware Security Advisory - This patch fixes a flaw in how the aacraid SCSI driver checked IOCTL command permissions. This flaw might allow a local user on the service console to cause a denial of service or gain privileges. Alin Rad Pop of Secunia Research found a stack buffer overflow flaw in the way Samba authenticates remote users. A remote unauthenticated user could trigger this flaw to cause the Samba server to crash or to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the Samba server. Chris Evans of the Google security research team discovered an integer overflow issue with the way Python's Perl-Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE) module handled certain regular expressions. If a Python application used the PCRE module to compile and execute untrusted regular expressions, it might be possible to cause the application to crash, or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the Python interpreter.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - An off-by-one error was discovered in the PyLocale_strxfrm function in Python 2.4 and 2.5 that could allow context-dependent attackers the ability to read portions of memory via special manipulations that trigger a buffer over-read due to missing null termination.
