CVE-2004-0238
Last modified
CVE-2004-0238 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple buffer overflows in Overkill (0verkill) 0.15pre3 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code in the client via a long HOME environment variable in the (1) load_cfg and (2) save_cfg functions; possibly allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long strings to (3) the send_message function; and, in the server, via (4) the parse_command_line function.. EPSS estimates a 5.16% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
