MythControlServer SendToMythTV() Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

MythControlServer is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability when handling commands received over Bluetooth. This issue arises because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input data before copying it to a fixed-sized stack buffer.

Exploiting this vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application.

MythControl/MythControlServer 1.0 and prior versions are vulnerable to this issue.
