Title
MatchDomainName 1-Byte Stack Buffer Over-Read in Hostname Validation
Summary
A 1-byte stack buffer over-read was identified in the MatchDomainName function (src/internal.c) during wildcard hostname validation when the LEFT_MOST_WILDCARD_ONLY flag is active. If a wildcard * exhausts the entire hostname string, the function reads one byte past the buffer without a bounds check, which could cause a crash.

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.

Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.
