A flaw was found in JS8Call and JS8Call-improved. A remote attacker can exploit a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted radio transmission containing "@APRSIS GRID" followed by an excessively long Maidenhead locator. This vulnerability, occurring in the `grid2deg` function, could lead to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service (DoS) on the affected system.
