+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Python:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>David
+    Remahl reported multiple integer overflows in the file imageop.c,
+    leading to a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2008-1679). This issue is
+    due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.</li>
+    <li>Justin Ferguson
+    discovered that an integer signedness error in the zlib extension
+    module might trigger insufficient memory allocation and a buffer
+    overflow via a negative signed integer (CVE-2008-1721).</li>
+    <li>Justin
+    Ferguson discovered that insufficient input validation in the
+    PyString_FromStringAndSize() function might lead to a buffer overflow
+    (CVE-2008-1887).</li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to cause a Denial
+    of Service or possibly the remote execution of arbitrary code with the
+    privileges of the user running Python.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    The imageop module is no longer built in the unaffected versions.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.3 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r6&quot;</code>
+    <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-r13&quot;</code>
