XTACACS Unspecified Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

XTACACS is prone to an unspecified remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions.

Version 4.12 is reported vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
