commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=93ab6f35f7a100c21fbf560ef83e0bd4cc59c8ff
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2019.02.x

CVE-2019-17362:
"The der_decode_utf8_string function (in der_decode_utf8_string.c) does not
properly detect certain invalid UTF-8 sequences.  This allows
context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read
and crash) or read information from other memory locations via carefully
crafted DER-encoded data."
