+	  <p>The 'libspf2' library is prone to a remote buffer-overflow
vulnerability that stems from a lack of bounds checking when handling
specially crafted DNS TXT records.
+
+Remote attackers may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in
the context of an application using a vulnerable version of the library.
+
+Versions prior to 'libspf2' 1.2.8 are affected. </p>
