Debian: python insecure tmp files
Summary
Zack Weinberg discovered an insecure use of a temporary file in
os._execvpe from os.py. It uses a predictable name which could lead
execution of arbitrary code.
This problem has been fixed in several versions of Python: For the
current stable distribution (woody) it has been fixed in version
1.5.2-23.1 of Python 1.5, in version 2.1.3-3.1 of Python 2.1 and in
version 2.2.1-4.1 of Python 2.2. For the old stable distribution
(potato) this has been fixed in version 1.5.2-10potato12 for Python
1.5. For the unstable distribution (sid) this has been fixed in
version 1.5.2-24 of Python 1.5, in version 2.1.3-6a of Python 2.1 and
in version 2.2.1-8 of Python 2.2. Python 2.3 is not affected by this
problem.
We recommend that you upgrade your Python packages immediately.
wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.
If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:
apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.

Please note that python source package produces more binary packages
than the ones listed above, which are note relevant for the fixed
problems, though.
These files will probably be moved into the stable distribution on
its next revision.
