Local privilege escalation via Search stack overflow
Published Oct 22, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Stack buffer overflow in Internet Download Manager 6.37.11.1 allows local users to escalate local process privileges through Search. The public record identifies the Search function as the affected locus but does not disclose which input overruns the stack buffer or how Search copies it. Successful exploitation requires local access with high privileges and can compromise the process's confidentiality, integrity, and availability; no more specific consequence is published.
