Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2009:048
http://www.mandriva.com/security/

Package : epiphany
Date : February 20, 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 Epiphany working directory
(CVE-2008-5985).

This update provides fix for that vulnerability.
