CVE-2018-25367
NASA openVSP 3.16.1 Denial of Service via Buffer Overflow
Description
NASA openVSP 3.16.1 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying an excessively long string in the geometry name field. Attackers can trigger a denial of service by pasting a 5000-byte payload into the name input field within the Geom browser pod addition interface.
