-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2013-15146 2013-08-22 22:35:08 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : python Product : Fedora 19 Version : 2.7.5 Release : 4.fc19 URL : http://www.python.org/ Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC). Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++. Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need a programmable interface. Note that documentation for Python is provided in the python-docs package. This package provides the "python" executable; most of the actual implementation is within the "python-libs" package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Fix for CVE-2013-4238 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Mon Aug 19 2013 Matej Stuchlik <mstuchli@redhat.com> - 2.7.5-4 - Added fix for CVE-2013-4238 (rhbz#998430) * Mon Jul 8 2013 Bohuslav Kabrda <bkabrda@redhat.com> - 2.7.5-3 - Fix build with libffi containing multilib wrapper for ffi.h (rhbz#979696). * Mon Jul 8 2013 Bohuslav Kabrda <bkabrda@redhat.com> - 2.7.5-2 - Obsolete PyXML as requested in rhbz#981137. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #996381 - CVE-2013-4238 python: hostname check bypassing vulnerability in SSL module https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=996381 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
