CVE-2017-2785
An exploitable buffer overflow exists in the psnotifyd application of the Pharos PopUp printer client version 9.0.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.15%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An exploitable buffer overflow exists in the psnotifyd application of the Pharos PopUp printer client version 9.0. A specially crafted packet can be sent to the victim's computer and can lead to a heap based buffer overflow resulting in remote code execution. This client is always listening, has root privileges, and requires no user interaction to exploit.
