[GLSA-200603-07] flex: Potential insecure code generation |
||
flex: Potential insecure code generation Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200603-07 (flex: Potential insecure code generation) Chris Moore discovered a buffer overflow in a special class of lexicographical scanners generated by flex. Only scanners generated by grammars which use either REJECT, or rules with a "variable trailing context" might be at risk. Impact A possible hacker could feed malicious input to an application making use of an affected scanner and trigger the buffer overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. Workaround Avoid using vulnerable grammar in your flex scanners.
