Discussion

EFFingerD Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

efFingerD has been reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability. The problem occurs due to insufficient bounds checking performed when handling requests.

As a result, an attacker may be capable of corrupting sensitive data such as a return address, and thereby effectively control the execution flow of the program. This would ultimately allow for the execution of arbitrary code. Immediate consequences of exploitation of this issue may result in denial of service.
