Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.16%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Multiple buffer overflows in Overkill (0verkill) 0.15pre3 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code in the client via a long HOME environment variable in the (1) load_cfg and (2) save_cfg functions; possibly allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long strings to (3) the send_message function; and, in the server, via (4) the parse_command_line function.
