Discussion

Fuzzball MUCK Message Parsing Interpreter Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

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

Exploiting this issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the affected application. Attackers may also cause Fuzzball MUCK to crash, denying service to legitimate users.

Versions prior to 6.07 are vulnerable.
