CVE-2008-1887
Published: Apr 18, 2008
Modified: Aug 7, 2024
PUBLISHED
Description
Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors that cause a negative size value to be provided to the PyString_FromStringAndSize function, which allocates less memory than expected when assert() is disabled and triggers a buffer overflow.
