Discussion

Network Block Device Server Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

NBD is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the server to do proper bounds checking on user-supplied data before using it in finite-sized buffers.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. This may facilitate a compromise of the underlying system.
