{"id":"CVE-2020-13995","url":"https://www.cyber-defence.io/tools/cve/CVE-2020-13995","generatedAt":"2026-10-27T20:21:28.616Z","title":"Air Force Sensor Data Management System extract75 has a buffer overflow that leads to code execution.","description":"U.S. Air Force Sensor Data Management System extract75 has a buffer overflow that leads to code execution. An overflow in a global variable (sBuffer) leads to a Write-What-Where outcome. Writing beyond sBuffer will clobber most global variables until reaching a pointer such as DES_info or image_info. By controlling that pointer, one achieves an arbitrary write when its fields are assigned. The data written is from a potentially untrusted NITF file in the form of an integer. The attacker can gain control of the instruction pointer.","published":"2020-09-25T13:15:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:54:04.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-787"],"affected":["airforce/nitf extract utility"],"epss":{"score":0.02714,"percentile":0.85902,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.71%).
