**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** liblouis versions 2.5.x before 2.5.4 **Description** A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the `findTable()` function in liblouis. This issue could allow an attacker to create a malicious file that causes applications using liblouis, such as Orca, to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code when the file is opened. **Recommendations** For liblouis versions 2.5.x before 2.5.4, update to version 2.5.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `findTable()` function in liblouis until a patch is available.
