+Subject: [PATCH] python: fix CVE-2014-7185
+
+Reference: http://bugs.python.org/issue21831
+
+CVE-2014-7185: Integer overflow in bufferobject.c in Python before
+2.7.8 allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive
+information from process memory via a large size and offset in a
+"buffer" function.
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
