| 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 5.4 (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. |
