A local attacker with write access to the current working directory could exploit this to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. It was discovered that the audioop module did not correctly perform input validation. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a crafted audio file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash. These issues only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could exploit this to obtain sensitive information. It was discovered that SimpleXMLRPCServer did not properly validate its input when handling HTTP POST requests. A remote attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service via excessive CPU utilization. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10. Various other issues were also addressed.

A remote attacker could exploit this to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04. It was discovered that SimpleHTTPServer did not use a charset parameter in the Content-Type HTTP header. An attacker could potentially exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against Internet Explorer 7 users. This issue only affected Ubuntu 11.04. Various other issues were also addressed.

The _ssl module would always disable the CBC IV attack countermeasure. A flaw was found in the way the Python SimpleHTTPServer module generated directory listings. An attacker able to upload a file with a specially-crafted name to a server could possibly perform a cross-site scripting attack against victims visiting a listing page generated by SimpleHTTPServer, for a directory containing the crafted file. A race condition was found in the way the Python distutils module set file permissions during the creation of the.pypirc file. Various other issues were also addressed.

A race condition was found in the way the Python distutils module set file permissions during the creation of the .pypirc file. A flaw was found in the way the Python SimpleXMLRPCServer module handled clients disconnecting prematurely. Various other issues have also been addressed. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

A denial of service flaw was found in the implementation of associative arrays in Python. An attacker able to supply a large number of inputs to a Python application that are used as keys when inserting data into an array could trigger multiple hash function collisions, making array operations take an excessive amount of CPU time. To mitigate this issue, randomization has been added to the hash function to reduce the chance of an attacker successfully causing intentional collisions.
