GHSA-8f95-v3jq-cj86
pymonocypherpymonocypherpymonocypherImpact
The argon2i_32 implementation does not check the nb_blocks size. If the caller does not provide a sufficiently large buffer based on the API contract, then argon2i_32 will write past the end of the buffer and possibly corrupt the heap.
Patches
Fixed in 4.0.2.8, which now verifies that nb_blocks is large enough. See 90ff5b1.
Workarounds
Provide a correctly sized nb_blocks buffer.
