vulnerability as referenced in the b51cfaea-e919-11ec-9fba-080027240888 advisory.

  - ** DISPUTED ** Null Pointer Dereference vulnerability exists in numpy.sort in NumPy < and 1.19 in the
    PyArray_DescrNew function due to missing return-value validation, which allows attackers to conduct DoS
    attacks by repetitively creating sort arrays. NOTE: While correct that validation is missing, an error can
    only occur due to an exhaustion of memory. If the user can exhaust memory, they are already privileged.
    Further, it should be practically impossible to construct an attack which can target the memory exhaustion
    to occur at exactly this place. (CVE-2021-41495)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
