An incomplete string comparison in the numpy.core component in NumPy before 1.22.0 allows attackers to trigger slightly incorrect copying by constructing specific string objects. NOTE: the vendor states that this reported code behavior is "completely harmless."
Mend Note: After conducting further research, Mend has determined that versions 1.12.0 through 1.21.6 of numpy are vulnerable to CVE-2021-34141
