The CVE pertains to the iconv() implementation in musl-libc.

The only known code from musl-libc in Pandas is a small set of C preprocessor macros in pandas/_libs/include/pandas/portable.h:

// GH-23516 - works around locale perf issues
// from MUSL libc, licence at LICENSES/MUSL_LICENSE
#define isdigit_ascii(c) (((unsigned)(c) - '0') < 10u)
#define getdigit_ascii(c, default)                                             \
  (isdigit_ascii(c) ? ((int)((c) - '0')) : default)
#define isspace_ascii(c) (((c) == ' ') || (((unsigned)(c) - '\t') < 5))
#define toupper_ascii(c) ((((unsigned)(c) - 'a') < 26) ? ((c) & 0x5f) : (c))
#define tolower_ascii(c) ((((unsigned)(c) - 'A') < 26) ? ((c) | 0x20) : (c))

Therefore, Pandas cannot be affected.
