Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2010:216 (python)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to python announced via advisory MDVSA-2010:216. Multiple vulnerabilities was discovered and corrected in python: The asyncore module in Python before 3.2 does not properly handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function, and does not have accompanying documentation describing how daemon applications should handle unsuccessful calls to the accept function, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct denial of service attacks that terminate these applications via network connections (CVE-2010-3492). Multiple race conditions in smtpd.py in the smtpd module in Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2 alpha allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon outage) by establishing and then immediately closing a TCP connection, leading to the accept function having an unexpected return value of None, an unexpected value of None for the address, or an ECONNABORTED, EAGAIN, or EWOULDBLOCK error, or the getpeername function having an ENOTCONN error, a related issue to CVE-2010-3492 (CVE-2010-3493). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Affected: 2009.1, 2010.0, 2010.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDVSA-2010:216 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
