Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51293
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-73-1 (python2.3)
Summary:	Ubuntu 4.10 USN-73-1 (python2.3)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to python2.3 announced via advisory USN-73-1. The Python developers discovered a flaw in the SimpleXMLRPCServer module. Python XML-RPC servers that used the register_instance() method to register an object, but do not have a _dispatch() method, allowed remote users to access or change function internals using the im_* and func_* attributes. The following packages are affected: python2.2 python2.3 Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.2.3-10ubuntu0.1 (python2.2) and 2.3.4-2ubuntu0.1 (python2.3). After a standard system upgrade you must restart all running Python server applications that use XML-RPC to effect the necessary changes. http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2005-February/000075.html Risk factor : High
