Fedora 36: 2022-81110193e5 Moderate: Liblouis Buffer Overflow Fixed

fedora
Calendar Grey June 16, 2022
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent Liblouis upgrade for Fedora 36 enhances performance and addresses significant security weaknesses.
Fixes CVE-2022-26981, CVE-2022-31783, and further issues

Summary

Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator named in

honor of Louis Braille. It features support for computer and literary braille,

supports contracted and uncontracted translation for many languages and has

support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added through tables that

support a rule- or dictionary based approach. Liblouis also supports math

braille (Nemeth and Marburg).

Liblouis has features to support screen-reading programs. This has led to its

use in two open-source screen readers, NVDA and Orca. It is also used in some

commercial assistive technology applications for example by ViewPlus.

Liblouis is based on the translation routines in the BRLTTY screen reader for

Linux. It has, however, gone far beyond these routines.

Fixes CVE-2022-26981, CVE-2022-31783, and further issues. A detailed list of
