Description:
The ncurses (new curses) library routines are a terminal-independent method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization. The ncurses packages contain support utilities including a terminfo compiler tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo. Security Fix(es): * ncurses: heap-based buffer overflow in the _nc_find_entry function in tinfo/comp_hash.c (CVE-2019-17594) * ncurses: heap-based buffer overflow in the fmt_entry function in tinfo/comp_hash.c (CVE-2019-17595) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
