MDKSA-2005:035: python |

Check for the version of the python package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2005:035 (python). A flaw in the python language was found by the development team. The SimpleXMLRPCServer library module could permit remote attackers unintended access to internals of the registered object or it's module, or possibly even other modules. This only affects python XML-RPC servers that use the register_instance() method to register an object without a _dispatch() method. Servers that only use the register_function() method are not affected. The updated packages have been patched to prevent these problems.
