NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tkinter package and not the tkinter package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in bufferobject.c in Python before 2.7.8 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information from process memory via a large size and offset in a "buffer" function.
