Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0085)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'python, python3' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0085 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'python, python3' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0085 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated python and python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities: A vulnerability was reported in Python's socket module, due to a boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code (CVE-2014-1912). This updates the python package to version 2.7.6, which fixes several other bugs, including denial of service flaws due to unbound readline() calls in the ftplib and nntplib modules (CVE-2013-1752). The python3 package has been patched to fix the CVE-2014-1912 issue. Affected Software/OS: 'python, python3' package(s) on Mageia 3, Mageia 4. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
