Summary
Updated python & python3 packages fix multiple vulnerabilities
Details

Updated python and python3 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A vulnerability was reported in Python's socket module, due to a boundary error within the sockrecvfrominto() function, which could be exploited to cause a buffer overflow. This could be used to crash a Python application that uses the socket.recvfrom_info() function or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running vulnerable Python code (CVE-2014-1912).

This updates the python package to version 2.7.6, which fixes several other bugs, including denial of service flaws due to unbound readline() calls in the ftplib and nntplib modules (CVE-2013-1752).

The python3 package has been patched to fix the CVE-2014-1912 issue.
