Comment 3 Stefan Cornelius 2015-11-04 13:46:26 UTC
This is an array indexing error, which can lead to an out-of-bounds read of a static buffer.

The fix is strange, but should work: the result is now unsigned (no longer negative, but now a huge positive number). But that doesn't matter, because the modulo 12 trims it down to sane, but obviously incorrect numbers.

Currently, I'd say that this probably does not even lead to a crash, let alone code exec.
