Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-09-20 15:46:20 UTC 
CVE-2018-17937:

gpsd versions 2.90 to 3.17 and microjson versions 1.0 to 1.3, an open source project, allow a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on embedded platforms via traffic on Port 2947/TCP or crafted JSON inputs.


Need to stabilize a fixed version, we'll just depend on existing stablereq here.
