Detail

Multiple buffer overflows in cscope 15.5 and earlier allow user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple vectors including (1) a long pathname that is not properly handled during file list parsing, (2) long pathnames that result from path variable expansion such as tilde expansion for the HOME environment variable, and (3) a long -f (aka reffile) command line argument.

Id Description
28136 Cscope Command Line reffile Argument Overflow

Cscope contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code. The issue is triggered when a boundary error occurs within the parsing of command line arguments. It is possible that the flaw may allow the attacker to cause stack-based buffer overflow by supplying a very long 'reffile' argument resulting in a loss of integrity.
28135 Cscope cscope.lists Handling Multiple Overflows

Cscope contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code. The issue is triggered when a boundary error occurs within the parsing of file lists or the expansion of environment variables. It is possible that the flaw may allow the attacker to cause stack-based buffer overflow by using specially crafted 'cscope.lists' files or directories resulting in a loss of integrity.
