The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • numpy: incomplete string comparison in the numpy.core component (CVE-2021-34141)

  • numpy: buffer overflow in the array_from_pyobj() in fortranobject.c (CVE-2021-41496)

  • A Buffer Overflow vulnerability exists in NumPy 1.9.x in the PyArray_NewFromDescr_int function of ctors.c when specifying arrays of large dimensions (over 32) from Python code, which could let a malicious user cause a Denial of Service. NOTE: The vendor does not agree this is a vulneraility; In (very limited) circumstances a user may be able provoke the buffer overflow, the user is most likely already privileged to at least provoke denial of service by exhausting memory. Triggering this further requires the use of uncommon API (complicated structured dtypes), which is very unlikely to be available to an unprivileged user (CVE-2021-33430)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
