Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
68767 libsmi lib/smi.c smiGetNode() Function Object Identifier (OID) Handling Overflow

libsmi is prone to an overflow condition. The 'smiGetNode' function in 'lib/smi.c' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted overly long string in an Object Identifier, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
