Python27.dll Used In Windows Nmap Is Insecure

[Liam <liamtr () gmail com>]

Hi,
There are security issues with python27.dll which is distributed in the 
latest versions of Nmap for Windows. See here:
http://secunia.com/advisories/48347/

Quote:
"Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Python, which can be 
exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive 
information, hijack a user's session, and cause a DoS (Denial of Service)."

I haven't done any testing myself so i cannot confirm if these issues 
would specifically impact Windows Nmap users, but i figured i would 
report the issue none the less and let you guys look into it.

Regards,

Liam
