NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream swi-prolog package and not the swi-prolog package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the canoniseFileName function in os/pl-os.c in SWI-Prolog before 6.2.5 and 6.3.x before 6.3.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted filename.
