Description
Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in Python 1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-dependent attackers to break out of the Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large integer values in certain arguments to the crop function, leading to a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4965 and CVE-2008-1679.
Affected configurations
• python python (>= 1.5.2 < 2.4.6)
• python python (>= 2.5.0 < 2.5.3)
