The iconv function in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.32 and
earlier, when processing invalid multi-byte input sequences in IBM1364,
IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390, and IBM1399 encodings, fails to advance the
input state, which could lead to an infinite loop in applications,
resulting in a denial of service, a different vulnerability from
CVE-2016-10228.

Notes

Author Note
sbeattie addressing this issue likely also depends on addressing CVE-2016-10228 which is upstream commit 91927b7c76 (โ€œRewrite iconv option parsing [BZ #19519]โ€) in older versions on glibc, but is a pretty significant change.
