NVD Description

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

The ledger::parse_date_mask_routine function in times.cc in Ledger 3.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
