Hi,
a CVE was published for python:
CVE-2007-4965[0]:
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.

I can confirm this issue.
If you fix this bug please include the CVE id in your changelog.

Kind regards
