  * CVE-2007-4965, http://bugs.python.org/issue1179:
    Multiple integer overflows in the imageop module in Python 2.5.1 and
    earlier allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
    (application crash) and possibly obtain sensitive information (memory
    contents) via crafted arguments to (1) the tovideo method, and unspecified
    other vectors related to (2) imageop.c, (3) rbgimgmodule.c, and other
    files, which trigger heap-based buffer overflows.
    Patch prepared by Stephan Herrmann. Closes: #443335, LP: #163845.
  * Remove deprecated value from categories in desktop file. LP: #172874.
