Description

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in pgrep. This vulnerability is mitigated by FORTIFY, as it involves strncat() to a stack-allocated string. When pgrep is compiled with FORTIFY (as on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora), the impact is limited to a crash.

Affected configurations

• procps-ng project procps-ng (< 3.3.15) • canonical ubuntu linux 12.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 14.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 16.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 17.10 • canonical ubuntu linux 18.04 • debian debian linux 7.0 • debian debian linux 8.0 • debian debian linux 9.0 • opensuse leap 15.1
