4.6 MEDIUM — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

Buffer overflow in XBoard 4.2.7 and earlier might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long -icshost command line argument. NOTE: since the program is not setuid and not normally called from remote programs, there may not be a typical attack vector for the issue that crosses privilege boundaries. Therefore this may not be a vulnerability.

Affected configurations

• tim mann xboard 4.2.1 • tim mann xboard 4.2.2 • tim mann xboard 4.2.3 • tim mann xboard 4.2.4 • tim mann xboard 4.2.5 • tim mann xboard 4.2.6 • tim mann xboard 4.2.7
