NVD Description

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

In libytnef in ytnef through 1.9.2, there is a heap-based buffer over-read due to incorrect boundary checking in the SIZECHECK macro in lib/ytnef.c.
