+    Slythers Bro discovered multiple integer overflows in the imageop
+    module, one of them in the tovideo() method, in various locations in
+    files imageop.c, rbgimgmodule.c, and also in other files.

+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could entice a user to process specially crafted
+    images with an application using the Python imageop module, resulting
+    in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
+    running the application, or a Denial of Service. Note that this
+    vulnerability may or may not be exploitable, depending on the
+    application using the module.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.3.x users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r3"</code>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.4.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6"</code>
