Service crash via unbounded password formatting
Published Feb 17, 2025 · Updated Feb 18, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in eScan Antivirus 7.0.32 on Linux allows local users to crash the USB password service with a long password. The USB password handler passes the supplied password to sprintf while constructing a system-command string in a fixed-size buffer without checking its length. A low-privileged user must reach the local password prompt; the demonstrated consequence is a service crash with stack-frame corruption.
