+EUC_JISX0213 decoding may hang on crafted input
+
+Converting crafted EUC_JISX0213 input to UCS-4 or the internal wide
+character encoding, for example with iconv, in the GNU C Library version
+2.3 to 2.44 may result in the converter making no progress, causing the
+calling application to hang.
+
+Some EUC_JISX0213 sequences decode to two code points. If the output
+buffer has room for only the first one, the converter stores the second
+in the conversion state and returns E2BIG, but it never clears that
+pending character after emitting it on the next call. The converter
+then keeps emitting the pending character without consuming further
+input, so an application that retries the conversion loops forever.
+The input must be attacker controlled and the application must convert
+it with an output buffer small enough to split the two code points.
+Only the EUC_JISX0213 character set is affected, which is not
+commonly used. The related defect in SHIFT_JISX0213 converter is
+tracked separately as CVE-2026-77117.
