NVD Description

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

There is an illegal address access in the function postprocess_termcap() in parse_entry.c in ncurses 6.0 that will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
