 unspecified other impact (bsc#1102062)

 instead of unsigned, resulting in an out-of-bounds write (of up to 128 bytes),
 leading to DoS or remote code execution (bsc#1102068)
- CVE-2018-14598: A malicious server could have sent a reply in which the first
 string overflows, causing a variable to be set to NULL that will be freed later
 on, leading to DoS (segmentation fault) (bsc#1102073)");
