CVE-2013-2038 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:14.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gpsd package and not the gpsd package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The NMEA0183 driver in gpsd before 3.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon termination) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a GPS packet with a malformed $GPGGA interpreted sentence that lacks certain fields and a terminator. NOTE: a separate issue in the AIS driver was also reported, but it might not be a vulnerability.
