Discussion

Vilistextum Remote Denial of Service and Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

Vilistextum is prone to multiple remote vulnerabilities. The first issue is a memory leak; the second issue is an off-by-one buffer overflow.

Exploiting these vulnerabilities may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine-code in the context of the affected application or to crash the application, denying service to users.

Note that a successful exploit requires that unsuspecting victims use the affected utility to process attacker-supplied files.

Vilistextum versions prior to 2.6.9 are vulnerable to these issues.
