A vulnerability was reported [1] in Python's socket module, due to a boundary error within the sock_recvfrom_into() function, which could be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code. This vulnerable function, socket.recvfrom_into(), was introduced in Python 2.5. Earlier versions are not affected by this flaw. This is fixed in upstream branches for version 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
