Hello,

Python 2.7.6 is vulnerable to remote code execution caused by a buffer overflow in socket.recvfrom_into() (CVE-2014-1912):

http://bugs.python.org/issue20246

The relevant patch has already been committed upstream:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/87673659d8f7

I think it may be wise to rebuild our python2 package with the appropriate fix until 2.7.7 is released.

Thank you,

This task depends upon
