Bug Description
Binary package hint: python2.5-doc
In the post install file /var/lib/
info=
if [ -n "$info" ] && [ -x /usr/sbin/
install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
#install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
# --description=
# /usr/share/
install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
install-info --quiet --section "Python" "Python" \
fi
which obviously always fails (because info is being cleared just before the test)
probably this should be info=`which info`

Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module in Python 2.5.1 and
earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) and possibly obtain sensitive information (memory
contents) via crafted arguments to (1) the tovideo method, and unspecified
other vectors related to (2) imageop.c, (3) rbgimgmodule.c, and other
