| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in gnu-ncurses. The `postprocess_termcap` function in `tinfo/parse_entry.c` is susceptible to a stack-based buffer overflow due to improper bounds checking during termcap entry processing. This flaw allows a local attacker to trigger the overflow via a crafted termcap file, leading to a denial of service.
