Description Ian Zimmerman 2016-12-01 22:42:34 UTC

According to the RedHat summary:

It was found that uloc_acceptLanguageFromHTTP function in common/uloc.cpp does not ensure that there is a '\0' character at the end of a certain temporary array that leads to out of bounds access, possibly causing DoS.
