  "details" : [ "ncurses 6.3 before patch 20220416 has an out-of-bounds read and segmentation violation in convert_strings in tinfo/read_entry.c in the terminfo library.", "A segmentation fault vulnerability was found in ncurses's convert_strings() function of tinfo/read_entry.c file. This flaw occurs due to corrupted terminfo data, triggering an out-of-bounds read error." ],
  "statement" : "Red Hat Product Security classifies this issue as having a Low security impact. This vulnerability is present in the tic program which is only used at build-time and does not exist in libncurses. The exploit can only be triggered if the user performs a specific action, such as processing terminfo from source to compiled form using trusted input, which limits the practical impact.",
