Debian DLA-25-3 : python2.6 regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 82173

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

The python2.6 packages distributed for squeeze-lts lacked some modules due to the package being built on systems running a 3.x version of the linux kernel.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
