CVE-2008-2080 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Stack-based buffer overflow in the Read32s_64 function in src/lib/cdfread64.c in the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Common Data Format (CDF) library before 3.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .cdf file with crafted length tags.. EPSS estimates a 3.87% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
