Description

Updated python & python3 packages fix two vulnerabilities Updated python and python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities: Python 2 and 3 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 as 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).
