RLSA-2023:6698

Synopsis

Moderate: ncurses security and bug fix update

Description

The ncurses (new curses) library routines are a terminal-independent method of updating character screens with reasonable optimization. The ncurses packages contain support utilities including a terminfo compiler tic, a decompiler infocmp, clear, tput, tset, and a termcap conversion tool captoinfo.

Security Fix(es):

* ncurses: Local users can trigger security-relevant memory corruption via malformed data (CVE-2023-29491)
