File pngcheck-CVE-2020-27818.patch of Package pngcheck
Fix buffer overflow reported in RHBZ #1897485.
When char is signed, casting to a (signed) int directly could produce a
negative offset into the ASCII lookup table; adding an intermediate cast to uch
(a typedef for unsigned char) ensures a nonnegative offset no greater than 255,
which always corresponds to a valid table index.
