CVE-2002-1146

UnknownEPSS 3.28%

Last modified

CVE-2002-1146 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The BIND 4 and BIND 8.2.x stub resolver libraries, and other libraries such as glibc 2.2.5 and earlier, libc, and libresolv, use the maximum buffer size instead of the actual size when processing a DNS response, which causes the stub resolvers to read past the actual boundary ("read buffer overflow"), allowing remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).. EPSS estimates a 3.28% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
