Scipy · Scipy · CVE-2023-29824
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SciPy versions prior to 1.8.0
**Description**
A use-after-free issue was discovered in the `Py FindObjects()` function. The vendor and discoverer indicate that this is not a security issue. The issue is related to the use of memory after it has been freed, which could potentially allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system.
**Recommendations**
For SciPy versions prior to 1.8.0, update to version 1.8.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `Py FindObjects()` function until a patch is available. However, since the vendor and discoverer indicate that this is not a security issue, the primary recommendation is to update to the latest version.
