GHSA-h3x9-7xx2-w832 PUBLISHED CVSS 6.5 MEDIUM

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 13, 2022

** DISPUTED ** The Wave_read._read_fmt_chunk function in Lib/wave.py in Python through 3.6.4 does not ensure a nonzero channel value, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and exception) via a crafted wav format audio file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue because Python applications "need to be prepared to handle a wide variety of exceptions."
