[Buildroot] [PATCH] package/raptor: fix CVE-2017-18926

Peter Korsgaard peter at korsgaard.com
Sat Nov 21 10:50:49 UTC 2020


raptor_xml_writer_start_element_common in raptor_xml_writer.c in Raptor RDF
Syntax Library 2.0.15 miscalculates the maximum nspace declarations for the
XML writer, leading to heap-based buffer overflows (sometimes seen in
raptor_qname_format_as_xml).

For more details, see the oss-security discussion:
