    UBUNTU-CVE-2018-13843

    Published: 10 Jul 2018Last Modified: 10 Jul 2018

    Summary:

    Details: ** DISPUTED ** An issue has been found in HTSlib 1.8. It is a memory leak in bgzf_getline in bgzf.c. NOTE: the software maintainer's position is that the "failure to free memory" can be fixed in applications that use the HTSlib library (such as test/test_bgzf.c in the original report) and is not a library issue.
