There is a stack-based buffer overflow in Liblouis 3.2.0, triggered in the function parseChars() in compileTranslationTable.c, that will lead to denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
