NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xterm package and not the xterm package as distributed by RHEL.
xterm before 380 supports ReGIS reporting for character-set names even if they have unexpected characters (i.e., neither alphanumeric nor underscore), aka a pointer/overflow issue. This can only occur for xterm installations that are configured at compile time to use a certain experimental feature.
