Description honda 2015-12-21 16:21:37 UTC
The newly introduced code fragment in conv_jistoeuc() of codeconv.c

 while (*in != '\0' && (out - outbuf) > outlen - 3) {

is clearly wrong, which should be

 while (*in != '\0' && (out - outbuf) < outlen - 3) {

Becuase of this errata, conv_jistoeuc() never work after 3.13.1. 

Sincerely yours

Just spotted that dubious change too for CVE-2015-8614:

The change to conv_jistoeuc() disables the loop, because (out-outbuf) will be zero and hence the while-condition will never be true.
