inotify-tools C Library inotifytools_snfprintf() Local Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
The 'inotify-tools' C library is prone to a local buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application using the library. Successful exploits can compromise affected applications and possibly the underlying computer. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service. Versions prior to inotify-tools 3.11 are vulnerable. |
