Discussion

RETIRED: Python Imageop Module 'imageop.crop()' Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Python's 'imageop' module is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of applications using the vulnerable Python module. This may result in a compromise of the underlying system. Failed attempts may lead to a denial-of-service condition.

This issue affects versions prior to Python 2.5.2.

NOTE: This BID is being retired because it is a duplicate of BID 31932 (Python 'Imageop' Module Argument Validation Buffer Overflow Vulnerability).
