Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in libc in NetBSD 4.x, FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x, and probably other BSD and Apple Mac OS platforms allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via large values of certain integer fields in the format argument to (1) the strfmon function in lib/libc/stdlib/strfmon.c, related to the GET_NUMBER macro; and (2) the printf function, related to left_prec and right_prec.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en libc de NetBSD 4.x, FreeBSD 6.x y 7.x, y posiblemente otras plataformas BSD y Apple Mac OS permiten a atacantes dependientes del contexto ejecutar código de su elección a través de valores de ciertos campos de enteros en el argumento de formato de (1) la función strfmon en lib/libc/stdlib/strfmon.c, en relación a la macro GET_NUMBER; y (2) la función printf, en relación a left_prec y right_prec.
