Otkrivene su višestruke ranjivosti programskog alata Python-feedparser, distribuiranog s operacijskom sustavom Fedora 15. Riječ je o modulu skriptnog jezika Python za preuzimanje i obradu RSS (eng. Really Simple Syndication) i Atom sadržaja. Svi sigurnosni propusti vezani su uz "feedparser.py". Udaljeni napadač može iskoristiti nedostatke kako bi pokrenuo napad uskraćivanja usluga, umetnuo proizvoljne web-skripte ili html kod pomoću posebno oblikovanih DOCTYPE deklaracija, posebno oblikovanih XML komentara ili neočekivane URI (eng. Uniform Resource Identifier) sheme. Preporučuje se nadogradnja programskog modula.
