ncompress: Buffer overflow
| Package(s): | compress uncompress ncompress |
CVE #(s): | CAN-2001-1413
|
| Created: | October 11, 2004 |
Updated: | December 14, 2004 |
| Description: |
compress and uncompress do not properly check bounds on command line
options, including the filename. Large parameters would trigger a buffer
overflow. By supplying a carefully crafted filename or other option, an
attacker could execute arbitrary code on the system. A local attacker could
only execute code with his own rights, but since compress and uncompress
are called by various daemon programs, this might also allow a remote
attacker to execute code with the rights of the daemon making use of
ncompress. |
