How to Fix CVE-2021-41498

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Pyo dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

pyo fixed: 1.0.4 
pip install pyo>=1.0.4
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show pyo

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2021-41498, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show pyo

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Pyo in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.0.4), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show pyo command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow'), where the product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer. In Pyo, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Buffer overflow in ajaxsoundstudio.com Pyo <= 1.03 in the `Server_jack_init function` which allows attackers to conduct Denial of Service attacks by arbitrary constructing a overlong `client_name`.
