CVE-2016-7045 - log back

CVE-2016-7045 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity
+ High
Remote
+ Remote
Type
+ Arbitrary code execution
Description
+ The format_send_to_gui() function does not validate the length of the string before incrementing the `ptr' pointer in all cases.
+ If that happens, the pointer `ptr' can be incremented twice and thus end past the boundaries of the original `dup' buffer.
+ Remote code execution might be difficult since only Nuls are written.
