CVE-2015-6525

Multiple integer overflows in the evbuffer API in Libevent 2.0.x before
2.0.22 and 2.1.x before 2.1.5-beta allow context-dependent attackers to
cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impact via
“insanely large inputs” to the (1) evbuffer_add, (2) evbuffer_prepend, (3)
evbuffer_expand, (4) exbuffer_reserve_space, or (5) evbuffer_read function,
which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow or an infinite loop. NOTE:
this identifier was SPLIT from CVE-2014-6272 per ADT3 due to different
affected versions.
