CVE-2005-3534 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Buffer overflow in the Network Block Device (nbd) server 2.7.5 and earlier, and 2.8.0 through 2.8.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large request, which is written past the end of the buffer because nbd does not account for memory taken by the reply header.. EPSS estimates a 5.99% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
