QID 997083

Date Published: 2024-02-02

QID 997083: Python (Pip) Security Update for scikit-learn (GHSA-jxfp-4rvq-9h9m)

svm_predict_values in svm.cpp in Libsvm v324, as used in scikit-learn 0.23.2 and other products, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted model SVM (introduced via pickle, json, or any other model permanence standard) with a large value in the _n_support array. NOTE: the scikit-learn vendor's position is that the behavior can only occur if the library's API is violated by an application that changes a private attribute.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.

CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5 severity.
