Stack-based buffer overflow in the file_compress function in minigzip (Modules/zlib) in Python 2.5 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long file argument.

Interpretation conflict in ModSecurity (mod_security) 2.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass request rules via application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST data that contains an ASCIIZ (0x00) byte, which mod_security treats as a terminator even though it is still processed as normal data by some HTTP parsers including PHP 5.2.0, and possibly parsers in Perl, and Python.

Eval injection vulnerability in the (a) kmz_ImportWithMesh.py Script for Blender 0.1.9h, as used in (b) Blender before 2.43, allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code by importing a crafted (1) KML or (2) KMZ file.

Buffer overflow in the repr function in Python 2.3 through 2.6 before 20060822 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted wide character UTF-32/UCS-4 strings to certain scripts.

The attachment scrubber (Scrubber.py) in Mailman 2.1.5 and earlier, when using Python's library email module 2.5, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mailing list delivery failure) via a multipart MIME message with a single part that has two blank lines between the first boundary and the end boundary.

Stack-based buffer overflow in Python 2.4.2 and earlier, running on Linux 2.6.12.5 under gcc 4.0.3 with libc 2.3.5, allows local users to cause a "stack overflow," and possibly gain privileges, by running a script from a current working directory that has a long name, related to the realpath function. NOTE: this might not be a vulnerability. However, the fact that it appears in a programming language interpreter could mean that some applications are affected, although attack scenarios might be limited because the attacker might already need to cross privilege boundaries to cause an exploitable program to be placed in a directory with a long name; or, depending on the method that Python uses to determine the current working directory, setuid applications might be affected.

sudo 1.6.8 and other versions does not clear the PYTHONINSPECT environment variable, which allows limited local users to gain privileges via a Python script, a variant of CVE-2005-4158.

Eval injection vulnerability in bvh_import.py in Blender 2.36 allows attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via a hierarchy element in a .bvh file, which is supplied to an eval function call.

Stani's Python Editor (SPE) 0.7.5 is installed with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges by modifying executable files.

The Python SVG import plugin (diasvg_import.py) for DIA 0.94 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted SVG file.

Tofu 0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via crafted pickled objects, which Tofu unpickles and executes.

Py2Play allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via pickled objects, which Py2Play unpickles and executes.

Integer overflow in pcre_compile.c in Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) before 6.2, as used in multiple products such as Python, Ethereal, and PHP, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via quantifier values in regular expressions, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow.

Eval injection vulnerability in Karrigell before 2.1.8 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code via modified arguments to a Karrigell services (.ks) script, which can reference functions from libraries that are used by that script.

Cheetah 0.9.15 and 0.9.16 searches the /tmp directory for modules before using the paths in the PYTHONPATH variable, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a malicious module in /tmp/.

The SimpleXMLRPCServer library module in Python 2.2, 2.3 before 2.3.5, and 2.4, when used by XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance method to register an object without a _dispatch method, allows remote attackers to read or modify globals of the associated module, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via dotted attributes.

Microsoft Windows XP SP1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an empty datagram to a raw IP over IP socket (IP protocol 4), as originally demonstrated using code in Python 2.3.

Buffer overflow in the getaddrinfo function in Python 2.2 before 2.2.2, when IPv6 support is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an IPv6 address that is obtained using DNS.

os._execvpe from os.py in Python 2.2.1 and earlier creates temporary files with predictable names, which could allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack.

ActivePython ActiveX control for Python in the AXScript package, when used in Internet Explorer, does not prevent a script from reading files from the client's filesystem, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a malicious web page containing Python script.
