WordNet Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

WordNet is prone to multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input.

Successful exploits may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial of service.

Note that these vulnerabilities occur when WordNet is used as a backend in web applications. The issues can be exploited through a web application that supplies input to WordNet.

The issues affect WordNet 2.0, 2.1, and 3.0; other versions may also be vulnerable.
