Python imageop.c buffer overflow
| python-imageopc-bo (41958) |  High Risk |
Description:
Python is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by multiple integer overflow errors in the imageop.c module. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted image, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
