GNU ncurses could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in the ncfindentry function in tinfo/comphash.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.

DISPUTED In ncurses, possibly a 6.x version, there is a NULL pointer dereference at the function ncnamematch that will lead to a denial of service attack. NOTE: the original report stated version 6.1, but the issue did not reproduce for that version according to the maintainer or a reliable third-party.
In ncurses 6.1, there is a NULL pointer dereference at function ncparseentry in parseentry.c that will lead to a denial of service attack. The product proceeds to the dereference code path even after a "dubious character ' in name or alias field" detection.
