CVE-2002-1889
Off-by-one buffer overflow in the context_action function in context.c of Logsurfer 1.41 through 1.5a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed log entry.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.06%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
