+    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Python:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>
+    David Remahl of Apple Product Security reported several integer
+    overflows in core modules such as stringobject, unicodeobject,
+    bufferobject, longobject, tupleobject, stropmodule, gcmodule,
+    mmapmodule (CVE-2008-2315).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    David Remahl of Apple Product Security also reported an integer
+    overflow in the hashlib module, leading to unreliable cryptographic
+    digest results (CVE-2008-2316).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    Justin Ferguson reported multiple buffer overflows in unicode string
+    processing that only affect 32bit systems (CVE-2008-3142).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    The Google Security Team reported multiple integer overflows
+    (CVE-2008-3143).
+    </li>
+    <li>
+    Justin Ferguson reported multiple integer underflows and overflows in
+    the PyOS_vsnprintf() function, and an off-by-one error when passing
+    zero-length strings, leading to memory corruption (CVE-2008-3144).
+    </li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities in Python
+    applications or daemons that pass user-controlled input to vulnerable
+    functions. Exploitation might lead to the execution of arbitrary code
+    or a Denial of Service. Vulnerabilities within the hashlib might lead
+    to weakened cryptographic protection of data integrity or authenticity.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.4 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r14&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.5.2-r6&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    Please note that Python 2.3 is masked since June 24, and we will not be
+    releasing updates to it. It will be removed from the tree in the near
+    future.
