How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:8 python39-scipy to version 0:1.5.4-5.module+el8.9.0+90016+9c2d6573 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2024-2985.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python39-scipy package and not the python39-scipy package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In affected versions Cipher.update_into would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol, but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as bytes) to be mutated, thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an exception. This issue has been present since update_into was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
