Descriptions

The SQLWriteFileDSN function in odbcinst/SQLWriteFileDSN.c in unixODBC 2.3.5 has strncpy arguments in the wrong order, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact.

La función SQLWriteFileDSN en odbcinst/SQLWriteFileDSN.c en unixODBC 2.3.5 tiene argumentos strncpy en el orden equivocado. Esto permite que atacantes provoquen una denegación de servicio (DoS) u otro tipo de impacto sin especificar.

An argument order confusion flaw was found in the SQLWriteFileDSN API of unixODBC. This could only be exploited via a malicious ODBC database connector package with the maximum impact being a denial of service.

The unixODBC packages contain a framework that supports accessing databases through the ODBC protocol. Issues addressed include a buffer overflow vulnerability.
