Fedora 22 Jython 2.7 DoS Security Advisory: FEDORA-2015-5938

Jython is an implementation of the high-level, dynamic, object-oriented

language Python seamlessly integrated with the Java platform. The

predecessor to Jython, JPython, is certified as 100% Pure Java. Jython is

freely available for both commercial and non-commercial use and is

distributed with source code. Jython is complementary to Java and is

especially suited for the following tasks: Embedded scripting - Java

programmers can add the Jython libraries to their system to allow end

users to write simple or complicated scripts that add functionality to the

application. Interactive experimentation - Jython provides an interactive

interpreter that can be used to interact with Java packages or with

running Java applications. This allows programmers to experiment and debug

any Java system using Jython. Rapid application development - Python

programs are typically 2-10X shorter than the equivalent Java program.

This translates directly to increased programmer productivity. The

seamless interaction between Python and Java allows developers to freely

mix the two languages both during development and in shipping products.

Security fix for CVE-2013-1752 and update to latest upstream release of jython.
