CVE-2012-4024 (GCVE-0-2012-4024)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2012-07-19 19:00 – Updated: 2024-08-06 20:21
VLAI?
Summary
Stack-based buffer overflow in the get_component function in unsquashfs.c in unsquashfs in Squashfs 4.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted list file (aka a crafted file for the -ef option). NOTE: probably in most cases, the list file is a trusted file constructed by the program's user; however, there are some realistic situations in which a list file would be obtained from an untrusted remote source.
Severity ?
