Christey" <coley@...us.mitre.org> Cc: oss-security@...ts.openwall.com Subject: CVE request -- Python < 2.6 PySys_SetArgv issues (epiphany, csound, dia, eog, gedit, xchat, vim, nautilus-python, Gnumeric) Hello Steve, initially CVE-2008-4863 has been assigned for the Blender's untrusted search path issue. Though this is a Python flaw (insertion of cwd at the beginning of the Python modules search path), according to our Python maintainers it can't be fixed on Python's side due the need of ensuring the work of other numerous packages, when loading Python modules. Similar flaw, like the Blender one, has been discovered in the following packages: 1, epiphany References: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504363 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481548 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html (test case, mention about other affected packages, Python upstream bug rejection reasons) Debian patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=sanitize_sys.path.diff;att=1;bug=504363 2, csound References: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504359 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481550 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html Debian patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=1004-sanitize-sys.path.diff;att=1;bug=504359 3, dia References: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504251 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481551 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html Debian patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=pythonpath.diff;att=1;bug=504251 4, eog References: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504352 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481553 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html Debian patch: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=02_sanitize_sys.path.patch;att=1;bug=504352 5, gedit References: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481556 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html 6, xchat References: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481560 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html 7, vim References: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481565 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html 8, nautilus-python References: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481570 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html 9, Gnumeric References: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481572 http://www.nabble.com/Bug-484305%3A-bicyclerepair%3A-bike.vim-imports-untrusted-python-files-from-cwd-td18848099.html Steve, could you please allocate a new CVE ids for the above issues?
