Description Johannes Segitz 2016-01-20 10:23:18 UTC 
catopen() Multiple unbounded stack allocations
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17905

A stack overflow (unbounded alloca) in the catopen function can cause
applications which pass long strings to the catopen function to crash
or, potentially execute arbitrary code.
