CVE-2013-1428
Stack-based buffer overflow in the receive_tcppacket function in net_packet.c in tinc before 1.0.21 and 1.1 before 1.1pre7 allows remote authenticated peers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large TCP packet.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 60.7%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
