https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/55386#issuecomment-683792976
"But this bug does not cause stack overflows in the generated code.
The function and file referred to in the bug (mark_beginning_as_normal
in nfa.c) are part of the flex code generator, not part of the
generated code. If flex crashes before generating any code, that
can hardly be a vulnerability. If flex does not crash, the generated
code is fine (or perhaps subject to other unreported bugs, who knows,
but the NFA has been generated correctly)."
Upstream has chosen to not provide a fix

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
