Descriptions

The convert_to_decimal function in vasnprintf.c in Gnulib before 2018-09-23 has a heap-based buffer overflow because memory is not allocated for a trailing '\0' character during %f processing.

La función convert_to_decimal en vasnprintf.c en Gnulib en versiones anteriores al 2018-09-23 tiene un desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap) debido a que la memoria no se asigna para un carácter "\0" final durante el procesamiento de %f.
