CVE-2008-1391
Last modified
CVE-2008-1391 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple integer overflows in libc in NetBSD 4.x, FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x, and probably other BSD and Apple Mac OS platforms allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via large values of certain integer fields in the format argument to (1) the strfmon function in lib/libc/stdlib/strfmon.c, related to the GET_NUMBER macro; and (2) the printf function, related to left_prec and right_prec.. EPSS estimates a 18.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
