7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

Vulnerability in StackGuard before 1.21 allows remote attackers to bypass the Random and Terminator Canary security mechanisms by using a non-linear attack which directly modifies a pointer to a return address instead of using a buffer overflow to reach the return address entry itself.

Affected configurations

• immunix stackguard (<= 1.21)
