Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the n_alloced_params argument, due to unchecked arithmetic during the dynamic expansion of the parameters array.

Note: This CVE was rejected because the code maintainer explains that "the call is invalid as the buffer pointed to by "data" must have "len" valid bytes." The documentation was fixed to make that clear.
