Discussion

ARPUS Ce/Ceterm Command Line Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

ARPUS Ce/Ceterm is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when processing command line arguments. In many cases, the application runs with the setuid bit set, allowing arbitrary code to be executed with root privileges.

Ce/Ceterm will run as setuid root in many cases. Versions of Ce/Ceterm from 2.6 onwards do not need to be setuid in order to function properly.
