+    Chris Evans reported multiple integer overflows in the expandtabs
+    method, as implemented by (1) the string_expandtabs function in
+    Objects/stringobject.c and (2) the unicode_expandtabs function in
+    Objects/unicodeobject.c.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities in Python
+    applications or daemons that pass user-controlled input to vulnerable
+    functions. The security impact is currently unknown but may include the
+    execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r2"</code>
+    <p>
+    All Python 2.4 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-lang/python-2.4.6"</code>
