Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg).

Security Fix(es):

  * A missing fix for one stack-based buffer overflow in findTable() for
CVE-2014-8184 was discovered. An attacker could cause denial of service or
potentially allow arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2017-15101)

Red Hat would like to thank Samuel Thibault for reporting this issue.");
