CVE-2008-1721

Publication date 10 April 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer signedness error in the zlib extension module in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a negative signed integer, which triggers insufficient memory allocation and a buffer overflow.
