Buffer Overflow vulnerability in hash_findi function in hashtbl.c in nasm 2.15rc0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted asm file.

CVE-2020-21687 (https://bugzilla.nasm.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3392645):

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in scan function in stdscan.c in nasm 2.15rc0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted asm file.

Upstream couldn't reproduce, so calling these invalid for now, I guess.
