Subject: [musl] [PATCH 1/2] Avoid out-of-bounds read for invalid quoted timezone
Date: Sat, 22 Feb 2020 16:01:12 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200222220113.55710-1-samuel@sholland.org> (raw)
Parsing the timezone name must stop when reaching the null terminator.
In that case, there is no '>' to skip.

This was found while investigating the bug fixed by patch 2.
