Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write via the spell_soundfold_sal function. An attacker can cause memory corruption and potentially crash the application by providing a specially crafted word that triggers an out-of-bounds write during sound-folding operations when a SAL-based spell language is active under a non-multibyte 8-bit encoding.
