CVE-2019-17594
First published: Mon Oct 14 2019(Updated: )
GNU ncurses could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in the _nc_find_entry function in tinfo/comp_hash.c in the terminfo library. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
