CVE-2019-16707

Description

From CVE.org

Hunspell 1.7.0 has an invalid read operation in SuggestMgr::leftcommonsubstring in suggestmgr.cxx.

Statement

This is unlikely to be an issue in a real world scenario, as it requires specially crafted Hunspell dictionaries, which are not shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Additionally, applications using Hunspell will likely filter out invalid input before passing it on, which further limits the impact.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
