CVE-2004-2372  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 bochs to version 2.1.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream bochs package and not the bochs package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in Bochs before 2.1.1, if installed setuid, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable, which is used if the .bochsrc, bochsrc, and bochsrc.txt cannot be found in a known path. NOTE: some external documents recommend that Bochs be installed setuid root, so this should be treated as a vulnerability.
