CVE-2006-1044
Multiple buffer overflows in LISTSERV 14.3 and 14.4, including LISTSERV Lite and HPO, with the web archive interface enabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown attack vectors related to the WA CGI.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.47%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
