Package(s):libvoikko CVE #(s):
Created:November 26, 2012 Updated:November 28, 2012
Description: From the Mageia advisory:

Version 3.2.1 fixes the handling of embedded null characters in input strings entered through the Python interface. The bug could be used to cause denial of service conditions and possibly other problems. Users of these interfaces are recommended to upgrade to this release. Applications that use the native C++ library directly (this includes all well known desktop applications) are not affected by this bug and no changes to the native library have been made in this release.
