NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream liblouis package and not the liblouis package as distributed by Ubuntu.

There is a heap-based buffer overflow that causes a more than two thousand bytes out-of-bounds write in Liblouis 3.2.0, triggered in the function resolveSubtable() in compileTranslationTable.c. It will lead to denial of service or remote code execution.
