CVE-2019-14872

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions newlib libc library versions prior to 3.3.0

Description The issue is related to the dtoa r function in the newlib libc library, which performs multiple memory allocations without checking their return values. This could lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.3.0, update to version 3.3.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the dtoa r function until a patch is available.
