Application crash via oversized REXX script
Published Feb 5, 2026 · Updated Feb 5, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in EmTec ZOC Terminal 7.25.5 allows local users to crash the application using a crafted REXX script. The REXX script loader fails to bound a 20,000-character input before stack-buffer processing, causing the process to terminate. Exploitation requires loading the malicious script through the application's REXX-script menu, and the demonstrated consequence is an application crash.
