ghsa-p423-j2cm-9vmq
CVSS 6.9 pysec
Description
If a non-contiguous buffer was passed to APIs which accepted Python buffers (e.g. `Hash.update()`), this could lead to buffer overflows. For example: ```python h = Hash(SHA256()) b.update(buf[::-1]) ``` would read past the end of the buffer on Python >3.11
