NVD Description

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

Stack-based buffer overflow in DMitry (Deepmagic Information Gathering Tool) version 1.3a (Unix) allows attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long argument. An example threat model is automated execution of DMitry with hostname strings found in local log files.
