Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming
language.

Zack Weinberg discovered that os._execvpe from os.py in Python 2.2.1
and earlier creates temporary files with predictable names. This could
allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a symlink attack

All users should upgrade to these errata packages which include a
patch to python 1.5.2 to correct this issue."
