DescriptionNVD

JAD 1.5.8e-1kali1 and prior contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input that exceeds buffer boundaries. Attackers can craft malicious input strings exceeding 8150 bytes to overflow the stack, overwrite return addresses, and execute shellcode in the application context.

AnalysisAI

JAD 1.5.8e-1kali1 and prior contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input that exceeds buffer boundaries.

Technical ContextAI

An out-of-bounds memory access occurs when code reads from or writes to memory locations outside the intended buffer boundaries. This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787).

RemediationAI

Implement proper bounds checking on all array and buffer accesses. Use memory-safe languages or static analysis tools to detect OOB issues.
