Impact	Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or privilege escalation depending on the memory layout and protections in place. With a CVSS score of 6.5 (MEDIUM), this represents a moderate risk.
Exploit ScenarioDerived	An attacker sends an oversized input to a vulnerable function, overwriting the return address on the stack to redirect execution to attacker-controlled shellcode.

Attack Technique

Buffer Overflow HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Stack-based Buffer Overflow HIGH

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
