https://census-labs.com/news/2020/01/31/multiple-null-pointer-dereference-vulnerabilities-in-newlib/ _REENT_CHECK macro null pointer dereference bug (CVE-2019-14871) The REENT_CHECK macro (see newlib/libc/include/sys/reent.h) as used by REENT_CHECK_TM, REENT_CHECK_MISC, REENT_CHECK_MP and other newlib macros, does not check for memory allocation problems when the DEBUG flag is unset (as is the case in production firmware builds).
