CVE-2008-1679

Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in Python before 2.5.3 allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted images that trigger heap-based buffer overflows.  NOTE: this issue is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4965.
