The wcsnrtombs function in all musl libc versions up through 1.2.1 has been found to have multiple bugs in handling of destination buffer size when limiting the input character count, which can lead to infinite loop with no forward progress (no overflow) or writing past the end of the destination buffers.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.16-3+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your musl packages.
For the detailed security status of musl please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/musl
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.
