There is a buffer overflow in Liblouis 3.2.0, triggered in the function _lou_showString() in utils.c, that will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
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.
