GNU Sharutils Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

GNU Sharutils Multiple Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

GNU Sharutils is affected by multiple buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to verify the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into finite process buffers.

Successful exploitation would immediately produce a denial-of-service condition in the affected process. Attackers may also leverage this issue to execute code on the affected system with the privileges of the user that invoked the vulnerable application.
