Update Information:

This is a security release fixing out-of-bounds reads when processing smart-
protocol "ng" packets.  When parsing an "ng" packet, we keep
 track of both the
current position as well as the remaining length of the packet itself. But
instead of taking care not to exceed the length, we pass the current
 pointer's
position to strchr, which will search for a certain character until hitting
 NUL.
It is thus possible to create a crafted packet which doesn't contain a NUL
 byte
to trigger an out-of-bounds read.  The issue was discovered by the oss-fuzz
project, issue 9406.
