Discussion

GNU Queue Multiple Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Multiple unspecified buffer overflow vulnerabilities affect GNU Queue. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute instructions with the privileges of the affected application. Although unconfirmed this may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.

This BID will be updated as more information becomes available.
