How dangerous is this for current versions of Armory?

The issue has been fixed in Python 2.7.6.

What version of Python is being used to build the Windows version of Armory?

I'm not 100% positive about this but I don't think Armory depends on the incriminated packages.

Armory 0.90 for Windows was built against Python 2.7.5. We will update to 2.7.6 for 0.91

Correct me if I'm wrong, but, the worse that'll cause is an "Out of memory" error, and, maybe an OS crash? Nothing like stolen BTC.
