CVE-2017-12852  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Centos:6 numpy.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream numpy package and not the numpy package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The numpy.pad function in Numpy 1.13.1 and older versions is missing input validation. An empty list or ndarray will stick into an infinite loop, which can allow attackers to cause a DoS attack.
