medium Nessus Plugin ID 22517

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Secunia reports :

Will Drewry has reported some vulnerabilities in Cscope, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Various boundary errors within the parsing of file lists or the expansion of environment variables can be exploited to cause stack-based buffer overflows when parsing specially crafted 'cscope.lists' files or directories.

A boundary error within the parsing of command line arguments can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow when supplying an overly long 'reffile' argument.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Solution

Update the affected package.
