Problem Description:
Python has a variable called sys.path that contains all paths where
Python loads modules by using import scripting procedure. A wrong
handling of that variable enables local attackers to execute arbitrary
code via Python scripting in the current Vim working directory
(CVE-2009-0316).
This update provides fix for that vulnerability.
Update:
This update also provides updated packages for Mandriva Linux 2008.0.
