Title
PMS 0.42 Stack-Based Buffer Overflow via Configuration File
Summary
PMS 0.42 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying malicious values in the configuration file. Attackers can craft configuration files with oversized input that overflows the stack buffer and execute shell commands via return-oriented programming gadgets.
