Upgrade Oracle:5 python to version 0:2.4.3-24.el5_3.6 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2009-1176.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python package and not the python package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple integer overflows in the PyOS_vsnprintf function in Python/mysnprintf.c in Python 2.5.2 and earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or have unspecified other impact via crafted input to string formatting operations. NOTE: the handling of certain integer values is also affected by related integer underflows and an off-by-one error.
