RHBA-2009:0067 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
python bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated python packages that fix various bugs are now available.
Description
Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.
These updated packages fix the following bugs:
- a bug in the gettext parsing code may have resulted in Python causing a
traceback when reading files generated by internationalization tools. This
issue may have manifested itself to users when applications -- run with
locales other than en_US -- crashed. In this update, the bug in the parsing
code is resolved, allowing Python to read files generated by
internationalization tools without crashing.
- previously, socket objects were created with circular references to
themselves. Consequently, their reference counts never reached "0", and
were only able to be deallocated via garbage collection. This resulted in
file descriptor leaks until the next garbage collection. In this update,
sockets not longer circular-reference themselves when created, allowing the
Resource Acquisition Is Initialization (RAII) technique to work with
sockets, which resolves this issue.
Users of python are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve these issues.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
