Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions musl libc versions 1.2.1 and earlier
Description The issue is related to the wcsnrtombs function in musl libc, which mishandles certain combinations of destination buffer size and source character limit. This can lead to an invalid write access, resulting in a buffer overflow. The exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
Recommendations For musl libc versions 1.2.1 and earlier, consider updating to a version later than 1.2.1 to resolve the issue. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
