Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak
EUVDB-ID: #VU78289
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25399
CWE-ID:
CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the Py_FindObjects() function. A local user can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
MitigationUpdate the affected package python-scipy to the latest version.
