NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mpfr4 package and not the mpfr4 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the mpfr_strtofr function in GNU MPFR before 3.1.2-p11 allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors related to incorrect documentation for mpn_set_str.
