Discussion

LCDproc LCDd Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

LCDproc Server (LCDd) has been reported to be prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities.

The first issue is reported to exist in the parse_all_client_messages() function of parse.c, and is due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks performed on user-supplied arguments. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary instructions in the context of the vulnerable service.

The second issue exists in the test_func_func() function of client_functions.c. Due to a lack of sufficient boundary checks an attacker may pass data to the function in a manner that is sufficient to trigger a buffer overflow. An attacker may leverage this condition to execute code in the context of the affected service.

Finally due the an erroneous implementation of a formatted print function contained in the test_func_func() function of client_functions.c.A remote attacker may supply format specifier characters. An attacker may leverage this condition to execute code in the context of the affected service.
