Dear Development team,
I identified another vulnerability in a clone function convert_to_decimal() in
extern/hunspell/intl/vasnprintf.csourced from coreutils/gnulib. These issues, originally reported in CVE-2018-17942, were resolved in the gnulib repository via this commit coreutils/gnulib@278b417.This PR applies the corresponding patch to fix the potential heap memory overrun in this codebase.
Please review at your convenience. Thank you for your time and attention!
