python3.2 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Python.

Software Description:
- python3.2: An interactive high-level object-oriented language

Details:

Florian Weimer discovered that Python incorrectly handled matching multiple
wildcards in ssl certificate hostnames. An attacker could exploit this to
cause Python to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2013-2099)

Ryan Sleevi discovered that Python did not properly handle certificates
with NULL characters in the Subject Alternative Name field. An attacker
could exploit this to perform a man in the middle attack to view sensitive
information or alter encrypted communications. (CVE-2013-4238)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
python3.2 3.2.3-6ubuntu3.4
python3.2-minimal 3.2.3-6ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
python3.2 3.2.3-0ubuntu3.5
python3.2-minimal 3.2.3-0ubuntu3.5

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
