Subject: [PATCH] buffer: avoid overrun on UCS-2 string write
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

CVE-2018-12115
Discovered by ChALkeR - Сковорода Никита Андреевич
Fix by Anna Henningsen

Writing to the second-to-last byte with UCS-2 encoding will cause a -1
length to be send to String::Write(), writing all of the provided Buffer
from that point and beyond.
