CVE-2010-2089

Publication date 27 May 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
