NVD Description

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

Multiple Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerabilities exists in Sniffit prior to 0.3.7 via a crafted configuration file that will bypass Non-eXecutable bit NX, stack smashing protector SSP, and address space layout randomization ASLR protection mechanisms, which could let a malicious user execute arbitrary code.
