+  <title>Python: Buffer Overflow</title>
+  <synopsis>

+    Denial of Service and potentially allows the execution of arbitrary code.

+    <p>
+    Benjamin C. Wiley Sittler discovered a buffer overflow in Python's
+    "repr()" function when handling UTF-32/UCS-4 encoded strings.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    If a Python application processes attacker-supplied data with the
+    "repr()" function, this could potentially lead to the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected application or a
+    Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Python users should update to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.4.3-r4"</code>
