cfingerd Utilities Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
cfingerd is a secure implementation of the finger daemon. cfingerd has been contributed to by many authors, and is maintained by the cfingerd development team. A buffer overflow in cfingerd makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges. Due to insufficient validation of input, a user can execute arbitrary code through the .nofinger file. This makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges, and potentially root access. |
