CVE-2008-6846

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in avast!

MEDIUM 6.8EPSS 3.69%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.69%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in avast! Linux Home Edition 1.0.5, 1.0.5-1, and 1.0.8 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a malformed (1) ISO or (2) RPM file.
