Descriptions
A flaw was found in gnuplot. The xstrftime() function may lead to a segmentation fault, causing a system crash.
This update for gnuplot fixes the following issues. Invalid read leads to segmentation fault on plot3d_points. Improper bounds check leads to heap-buffer overflow on utf8_copy_one. Unvalidated user input leads to segmentation fault on GetAnnotateString. Improper verification of time values leads to segmentation fault on xstrftime. Unchecked invalid pointer access leads to segmentation fault on CANVAS_text. Double fclose call leads to segmentation fault on X11_graphics. Out-of-bounds read when parsing font names may lead to a segmentation fault.
