Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write. A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the xtimor NMEA library (aka nmealib) 0.5.3. nmea_parse() in parser.c allows an attacker to trigger denial of service (even arbitrary code execution in a certain context) in a product using this library via malformed data.
