From ${URL} :

In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.29, proceed_next_node in posix/regexec.c has a heap-based buffer over-read via an 
attempted case-insensitive regular-expression match.

Unable to check for sanity:

Comment 3 NATTkA bot gentoo-dev 2020-04-13 14:41:12 UTC
Resetting sanity check; package list is empty or all packages are done.
