Overview
numpy is a fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow due to missing boundary checks in the array_from_pyobj function of fortranobject.c. This may allow an attacker to conduct Denial of Service by carefully constructing an array with negative values.
