An out of bound read was discoverd in libConfuse, a configuration file parser library.

CVE-2018-14447

An out of bound read in trim_whitespace, fixed thanks to Sebastian Roland <[email protected]>.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 2.7-5+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your confuse packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
