CVE-2014-4501 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in sgminer before 4.2.2, cgminer before 4.3.5, and BFGMiner before 3.3.0 allow remote pool servers to have unspecified impact via a long URL in a client.reconnect stratum message to the (1) extract_sockaddr or (2) parse_reconnect functions in util.c.. EPSS estimates a 2.91% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
