 desc = 'The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200409-03
(Python 2.2: Buffer overflow in getaddrinfo())


    If IPV6 is disabled in Python 2.2, getaddrinfo() is not able to handle IPV6
    DNS requests properly and a buffer overflow occurs.
  
Impact

    An attacker can execute arbitrary code as the user running python.
  
Workaround

    Users with IPV6 enabled are not affected by this vulnerability.

    http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2004-0150
    http://www.osvdb.org/4172


Solution: 
    All Python 2.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    # emerge sync
    # emerge -pv ">=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"
    # emerge ">=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"
  

Risk Factor : High
