NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libbsd package and not the libbsd package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Off-by-one vulnerability in the fgetwln function in libbsd before 0.8.2 allows attackers to have unspecified impact via unknown vectors, which trigger a heap-based buffer overflow.
