  - NASA CFITSIO prior to 3.43 is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: arbitrary code execution. The
    component is: over 40 source code files were changed. The attack vector is: remote unauthenticated
    attacker. The fixed version is: 3.43. NOTE: this CVE refers to the issues not covered by CVE-2018-3846,
    CVE-2018-3847, CVE-2018-3848, and CVE-2018-3849. One example is ftp_status in drvrnet.c mishandling a long
