Last modified
CVE-2016-20039 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.6/10 on the CVSS scale. Multi Emulator Super System 0.154-3.1 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the gamma parameter handling that allows local attackers to crash the application or execute arbitrary code. Attackers can supply an oversized gamma parameter value to overflow the stack buffer and overwrite the instruction pointer with a controlled address to achieve code execution.. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
