Title: Python Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input (Classic Buffer Overflow) Vulnerability
Overview:

Multiple buffer overflows in Python 2.5.2 and earlier on 32bit platforms allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or have unspecified other impact via a long string that leads to incorrect memory allocation during Unicode string processing related to the unicode_resize function and the PyMem_RESIZE macro.
