A race condition was found in the way the Python distutils module set

distutils, they could use this flaw to gain access to that user's
.pypirc file, which can contain usernames and passwords for code
repositories (CVE-2011-4944).

Additionally, python has been built against the system expat and ffi
libraries, to avoid any future issues with those (mitigates
CVE-2012-0876 for expat)."
