NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libprotobuf-lite20 package and not the libprotobuf-lite20 package as distributed by SLES.

Nullptr dereference when a null char is present in a proto symbol. The symbol is parsed incorrectly, leading to an unchecked call into the proto file's name during generation of the resulting error message. Since the symbol is incorrectly parsed, the file is nullptr. We recommend upgrading to version 3.15.0 or greater.
