(libmaxminddb: Denial of service)

    libmaxminddb used uninitialised memory when reading from a corrupt
      database file.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to use a specially crafted
      database with libmaxminddb, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service
      condition.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
