CVE-2014-4501
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in sgminer before 4.2.2, cgminer before 4.3.5, and BFGMiner before 3.3.0 allow remote pool servers to have unspecified impact via a long URL in a client.reconnect stratum message to the (1) extract_sockaddr or (2)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.91%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
