NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python package and not the python package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
