CVE-2006-1038
Buffer overflow in SecureCRT 5.0.4 and earlier and SecureFX 3.0.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to have an unknown impact when a Unicode string is converted to a "narrow" string.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.05%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
