CVE-2021-39158 describes a supply chain vulnerability in NVCaffe, where its Python dependency list incorrectly referenced a non-existent 'gfortran' package on pypi.org. This allowed an attacker to potentially upload a malicious package under that name, leading to arbitrary code execution with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability if a user installed it. Rated 8.8 HIGH, the vulnerability requires user interaction but has low attack complexity. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion.
