Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libpython2_6-1_0, libpython2_6-1_0-32bit, libpython2_6-1_0-x86, python, python-32bit, python-base, python-base-32bit, python-base-debuginfo, python-base-debuginfo-32bit, python-base-debuginfo-x86, python-base-debugsource, python-base-x' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2012:0642-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: This update to python 2.6.8 fixes the following bugs, among others: * XMLRPC Server DoS (CVE-2012-0845, bnc#747125) * hash randomization issues (CVE-2012-1150, bnc#751718) * insecure creation of .pypirc (CVE-2011-4944, bnc#754447) * SimpleHTTPServer XSS (CVE-2011-1015, bnc#752375) * functions can accept unicode kwargs (bnc#744287) * python MainThread lacks ident (bnc#754547) * TypeError: waitpid() takes no keyword arguments (bnc#751714) * Source code exposure in CGIHTTPServer module (CVE-2011-1015, bnc#674646) * Insecure redirect processing in urllib2 (CVE-2011-1521, bnc#682554) The hash randomization fix is by default disabled to keep compatibility with existing python code when it extracts hashes. To enable the hash seed randomization you can use: - pass -R to the python interpreter commandline. - set the environment variable PYTHONHASHSEED=random to enable it for programs. You can also set this environment variable to a fixed hash seed by specifying a integer value between 0 and MAX_UINT. In generally enabling this is only needed when malicious third parties can inject values into your hash tables. The update to 2.6.8 also provides many compatibility fixes with OpenStack.
