Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound due to the improper handling of integer values in the AppendEncodedAttributeValue, ExtraSpaceNeededForAttrEncoding, and AppendEncodedCharacters functions. An attacker can cause an out of bounds write by triggering integer overflows, leading to potential arbitrary code execution or denial of service.
