    Summary: Updated unixODBC packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: unixODBC before version 2.3.5 is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the DriverManager/__info.c:unicode_to_ansi_copy() method. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact (CVE-2018-7409). The SQLWriteFileDSN function in odbcinst/SQLWriteFileDSN.c in unixODBC 2.3.5 has strncpy arguments in the wrong order, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact (CVE-2018-7485).
