CVE-2013-1424
June 26, 2025
Matplotlib before 1.4.3 is vulnerable to buffer overrun in mplutils Printf().Printf constructor accepts an arbitrary format string and values, and dumps it into a 1024-byte buffer with vsprintf. This is obviously not safe, as the user can simply supply enough bytes to overflow the 1024-byte buffer.
