View on CVE.org

Published Dec 8, 2006 CVSS 2.0 · 4.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Integer overflow in banner/banner.c in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD might allow local users to modify memory via a long banner. NOTE: CVE and multiple third parties dispute this issue. Since banner is not setuid, an exploit would not cross privilege boundaries in normal operations. This issue is not a vulnerability
