From: Deepak Rathore <[email protected]> These patches apply the upstream fixes shown in [1] and [2], as referenced by [3].
Upstream pull request mentioned in [4] contains both the storeAtts fix and the related xcsdup overflow hardening so adding both source patches explicit, even though the published advisory description names storeAtts specifically.
