HIGH 8.6

DescriptionCVE.org

SC v7.16 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input that exceeds buffer boundaries. Attackers can craft malicious input strings exceeding 1052 bytes to overwrite the instruction pointer and execute shellcode in the application context.

AnalysisAI

SC v7.16 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input that exceeds buffer boundaries. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. SC v7.16 contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying oversized input that exceeds buffer boundaries. Attackers can craft malicious input strings exceeding 1052 bytes to overwrite the instruction pointer and execute shellcode in the application context. Affected products include: Sc.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
