TITLE:
Gentoo update for python

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35750

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35750/

DESCRIPTION:
Gentoo has issued an update for python. This fixes some
vulnerabilities, which potentially can be exploited by malicious
people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to multiple integer overflow
errors in "expandtabs()" and can be exploited by passing an overly
large argument to the affected method.

SOLUTION:
Python 2.5:
Update to "dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2" or later.

Python 2.4:
Update to "dev-lang/python-2.4.6" or later.
