Package : eog
Date : March 2, 2009
Affected: 2008.1, 2009.0

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 eog working directory
(CVE-2008-5987).

This update provides fix for that vulnerability.
