NumPy < 1.22.0 Vulnerability - CVE-2021-34141

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210055

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of NumPy installed on the remote host is prior to 1.22.0. It is, therefore, affected by an incomplete string comparison vulnerability 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.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to NumPy version 1.22.0 or later.
