Insight
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 Epiphany working directory (CVE-2008-5985). This update provides fix for that vulnerability. Update: The previous update package was not built against the correct (latest) libxulrunner-1.9.0.6 library (fixes #48163) Affected: 2008.1
