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 dia working directory
(CVE-2008-5984).
This update provides fix for that vulnerability.
