OESA-2022-1522 (CVE-2021-41495)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2022-02-11 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source websiteA fast multidimensional array facility for Python.
Security Fix(es):
Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability exists in numpy.sort in NumPy < and 1.19 in the PyArray_DescrNew function due to missing return-value validation, which allows attackers to conduct DoS attacks by repetitively creating sort arrays.(CVE-2021-41495)
An incomplete string comparison in the numpy.core component in NumPy before 1.22.0 allows attackers to trigger slightly incorrect copying by constructing specific string objects. NOTE: the vendor states that this reported code behavior is "completely harmless."(CVE-2021-34141)
