Buffer overflow in the run_last_args function in client/fwknop.c in fwknop before 2.0.3, when processing --last, might allow local users to cause a denial of service (client crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via many .fwknop.run arguments.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.66%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
