The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201503-10 (Python: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Python. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A context-dependent attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code or       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Python was updated to 3.3.5 fixing bugs and security issues :

  - bugfix-only release, closes several security bugs

  - CVE-2013-1752 (bnc#856836) - DoS flaws with unbounded     reads from network

  - disable SSLv2 by default

  - DoS on maliciously crafted zip files (CVE-2013-7338,     bnc#869222)

  - CGIHttpRequestHandler directory traversal

  - gzip decompression bomb in xmlrpc client (CVE-2013-1753,     bnc#856835) xmlrpc_gzip_33.patch

  - potential buffer overflow in recvfrom_into     (CVE-2014-1912, bnc#863741)

  - hundreds of non-security-related bugfixes

Updated python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities :

ZipExtFile.read goes into 100% CPU infinite loop on maliciously binary edited zips (CVE-2013-7338).

A vulnerability was reported in Python's socket module, due to a boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code (CVE-2014-1912).

It was reported that a patch added to Python 3.2 caused a race condition where a file created could be created with world read/write permissions instead of the permissions dictated by the original umask of the process. This could allow a local attacker that could win the race to view and edit files created by a program using this call. Note that prior versions of Python, including 2.x, do not include the vulnerable _get_masked_mode() function that is used by os.makedirs() when exist_ok is set to True (CVE-2014-2667).

Python are susceptible to arbitrary process memory reading by a user or adversary due to a bug in the _json module caused by insufficient bounds checking. The bug is caused by allowing the user to supply a negative value that is used an an array index, causing the scanstring function to access process memory outside of the string it is intended to access (CVE-2014-4616).

The CGIHTTPServer Python module does not properly handle URL-encoded path separators in URLs. This may enable attackers to disclose a CGI script's source code or execute arbitrary scripts in the server's document root (CVE-2014-4650).

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.10.x that is prior to 10.10.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

Note that successful exploitation of the most serious issues can result in arbitrary code execution.

This python update fixes the following security and non-security issues :

  - bnc#869222: Fixed DoS when opening malicious archives     (CVE-2013-7338).

  - bnc#863741: Fixed buffer overflow in     socket.recvfrom_into (CVE-2014-1912).

  - bnc#871152: Fixed race condition with umask when     creating directories with os.mkdirs (CVE-2014-2667).

  - bnc#637176: Fixed update multilib patch to handle home     install scheme.
