CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2016:2586
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language, which includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.
Security Fix(es):
- A vulnerability was discovered in Python, in the built-in zipimporter. A specially crafted zip file placed in a module path such that it would be loaded by a later “import” statement could cause a heap overflow, leading to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2016-5636)
