Description Jan Lieskovsky 2010-05-31 17:49:57 UTC 
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2010-2089 to
the following vulnerability:

The audioop module in Python 2.7 and 3.2 does not verify the
relationships between size arguments and byte string lengths, which
allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(memory corruption and application crash) via crafted arguments, as
demonstrated by a call to audioop.reverse with a one-byte string, a
different vulnerability than CVE-2010-1634.

Public PoC (from [1]):
  $ python -c "import audioop; audioop.reverse('X', 2)"
    Fatal Python error: Inconsistent interned string state.
