Descriptions
The matchCurrentInput function inside lou_translateString.c of Liblouis prior to 3.7 does not check the input string's length, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash via out-of-bounds read) by crafting an input file with certain translation dictionaries.
La función matchCurrentInput dentro de lou_translateString.c de Liblouis en versiones anteriores a la 3.7 no comprueba la longitud de la cadena entrante, permitiendo a los atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado de la aplicación mediante una lectura fuera de límites) creando un archivo entrante con determinados diccionarios de traducción.
