NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-32bit package and not the python-32bit package as distributed by SLES.

Multiple buffer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier on 32bit platforms allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or have unspecified other impact via a long string that leads to incorrect memory allocation during Unicode string processing, related to the unicode_resize function and the PyMem_RESIZE macro.
