Description

Buffer overflow in the array_from_pyobj function of fortranobject.c in NumPy < 1.19, which allows attackers to conduct a Denial of Service attacks by carefully constructing an array with negative values. NOTE: The vendor does not agree this is a vulnerability; the negative dimensions can only be created by an already privileged user (or internally)
