CVE-2010-2089 EXPLOIT
5.0
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 14.6% (pctl 97)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
The audioop module in Python 2.7 and 3.2 does not verify the relationships between size arguments and byte string lengths, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via crafted arguments, as demonstrated by a call to audioop.reverse with a one-byte string, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1634.
