CVE-2008-4864
Python 1.5.2-2.5.1 - Integer Overflow in imageop.c crop Function
Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 2 public exploits for CVE-2008-4864. PoCs published by Chris Evans.
AI-analyzed exploit summary The PoC demonstrates a buffer overflow vulnerability in Python's 'imageop' module by passing malformed parameters to the 'crop' function, which can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial-of-service conditions.
Description
Multiple integer overflows in imageop.c in the imageop module in Python 1.5.2 through 2.5.1 allow context-dependent attackers to break out of the Python VM and execute arbitrary code via large integer values in certain arguments to the crop function, leading to a buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4965 and CVE-2008-1679.
