commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=a47b278d3252fc738ce1e94bbcaff6e6805a8de3
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2020.08.x

raptor_xml_writer_start_element_common in raptor_xml_writer.c in Raptor RDF
Syntax Library 2.0.15 miscalculates the maximum nspace declarations for the
XML writer, leading to heap-based buffer overflows (sometimes seen in
raptor_qname_format_as_xml).

For more details, see the oss-security discussion:
