Debian 10 DLA-3682-1 moderate: ncurses denial of service

CVE-2021-39537

It has been discovered that the tic(1) utility is susceptible to a
heap overflow on crafted input due to improper bounds checking.

CVE-2023-29491

Jonathan Bar Or, Michael Pearse and Emanuele Cozzi have discovered
that when ncurses is used by a setuid application, a local user can
trigger security-relevant memory corruption via malformed data in a
terminfo database file found in $HOME/.terminfo or reached via the
TERMINFO or TERM environment variables.

In order to mitigate this issue, ncurses now further restricts
programs running with elevated privileges (setuid/setgid programs).
Programs run by the superuser remain able to load custom terminfo
entries.

This change aligns ncurses' behavior in buster-security with that of
Debian Bullseye's latest point release (6.2+20201114-2+deb11u2).

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version
6.1+20181013-2+deb10u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your ncurses packages.
