Last modified
CVE-2007-2452 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the visit_old_format function in locate/locate.c in locate in GNU findutils before 4.2.31 might allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long pathname in a locate database that has the old format, a different vulnerability than CVE-2001-1036.. EPSS estimates a 2.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
