Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in cscope 15.5 and earlier allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors including (1) a long pathname that is not properly handled during file list parsing, (2) long pathnames that result from path variable expansion such as tilde expansion for the HOME environment variable, and (3) a long -f (aka reffile) command line argument.

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer en cscope 15.5 y anetriores permiten a atacantes con la intervención del usuario provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) y posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de múltiples vectores que incluyen (1) un nombre de ruta largo que no se maneja adecuadamente durante el análisis de la lista de archivos, (2) nombres largos de ruta que resultan de la expansión de rutas variables como la expansión de la "tilde" para la variable de entorno HOME, y (3) un argumento de línea de comandos -f (o reffile) largo.
