CVE-2017-20225 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.3/10 on the CVSS scale. TiEmu 2.08 and prior contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting inadequate boundary checks on user-supplied input. Attackers can trigger the overflow through command-line arguments passed to the application, leveraging ROP gadgets to bypass protections and execute shellcode in the application context.. EPSS estimates a 0.80% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
