+  <title>Python 2.2: Buffer overflow in getaddrinfo()</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Python 2.2 has a vulnerability in DNS handling when IPV6 is disabled and a
+    malformed IPV6 address is encountered by getaddrinfo().
+  </synopsis>
+  <product type="ebuild">Python</product>

+    <package name="dev-lang/python" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">2.2.2</unaffected>

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    If IPV6 is disabled in Python 2.2, getaddrinfo() is not able to handle IPV6
+    DNS requests properly and a buffer overflow occurs.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker can execute arbitrary code as the user running python.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Users with IPV6 enabled are not affected by this vulnerability.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv ">=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"
+    # emerge ">=dev-lang/python-2.2.2"</code>
+  </resolution>
