+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>A specially crafted argument can trigger a static buffer
+	overflow in the library, with possibility to rewrite following
+	static buffers that belong to other library functions.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>Due to very limited use of the function in the existing
+	applications, and limited length of the overflow, exploitation
+	of the vulnerability does not seem feasible. None of the
+	utilities and daemons in the base system are known to be
+	vulnerable. However, careful review of third party software
+	that may use the function was not performed.</p>
