CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/193.html

Off-by-one error in the PyLocale_strxfrm function in Modules/_localemodule.c for Python 2.4 and 2.5 causes an incorrect buffer size to be used for the strxfrm function, which allows context-dependent attackers to read portions of memory via unknown manipulations that trigger a buffer over-read due to missing null termination.

Weakness

A product calculates or uses an incorrect maximum or minimum value that is 1 more, or 1 less, than the correct value.
