Description

In pkgconf through 1.9.3, variable duplication can cause unbounded string expansion due to incorrect checks in libpkgconf/tuple.c:pkgconf_tuple_parse. For example, a .pc file containing a few hundred bytes can expand to one billion bytes.

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-libpkgconf-devel
  • suse-upgrade-libpkgconf3
  • suse-upgrade-pkgconf
