CVE-2008-3908 (GCVE-0-2008-3908)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2008-09-04 17:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 09:53
VLAI
Summary
Multiple buffer overflows in Princeton WordNet (wn) 3.0 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long argument on the command line; a long (2) WNSEARCHDIR, (3) WNHOME, or (4) WNDBVERSION environment variable; or (5) a user-supplied dictionary (aka data file). NOTE: since WordNet itself does not run with special privileges, this issue only crosses privilege boundaries when WordNet is invoked as a third party component.
