Synopsis
The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.Description
Jason Duell reports :Cscope contains an alarming number of buffer overflow vulnerabilities.
By a rough count, there are at least 48 places where we blindly sprintf() a file name into a fixed-length buffer of size PATHLEN without checking to see if the file's name is <= PATHLEN. We do similar things with environment variable values.
