Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
LanSpy 2.0.1.159 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to overwrite the instruction pointer by supplying oversized input to the scan field. Attackers can craft a payload with 688 bytes of padding followed by 4 bytes of controlled data to crash the application or potentially achieve code execution.
AnalysisAI
LanSpy 2.0.1.159 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to overwrite the instruction pointer by supplying oversized input to the scan field. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch 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. LanSpy 2.0.1.159 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows attackers to overwrite the instruction pointer by supplying oversized input to the scan field. Attackers can craft a payload with 688 bytes of padding followed by 4 bytes of controlled data to crash the application or potentially achieve code execution. Affected products include: Lizardsystems Lanspy.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
