NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xymon package and not the xymon package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple buffer overflows in xymond/xymond.c in xymond in Xymon 4.1.x, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x before 4.3.25 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a long filename, involving handling a "config" command.
