NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gpac package and not the gpac package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In GPAC 0.7.1 and earlier, gf_text_get_utf8_line in media_tools/text_import.c in libgpac_static.a allows an out-of-bounds write because a certain -1 return value is mishandled.
