Description

Hunspell 1.7.0 has an invalid read operation in SuggestMgr::leftcommonsubstring in suggestmgr.cxx.

Statement

This is unlikely to be an issue in a real world scenario, as it requires specially crafted Hunspell dictionaries, which are not shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Additionally, applications using Hunspell will likely filter out invalid input before passing it on, which further limits the impact.
