Title: Python Divide By Zero Vulnerability

Overview:

DISPUTED The Wave_read._read_fmt_chunk function in Lib/wave.py in Python through 3.6.4 does not ensure a nonzero channel value which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero and exception) via a crafted wav format audio file. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue because Python applications quotneed to be prepared to handle a wide variety of exceptions.quot
