CVE-2020-29394  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable dlt-daemon to version 2.18.5-0.3 or higher.

NVD Description

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

A buffer overflow in the dlt_filter_load function in dlt_common.c from dlt-daemon through 2.18.5 (GENIVI Diagnostic Log and Trace) allows arbitrary code execution because fscanf is misused (no limit on the number of characters to be read in the format argument).
