CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Stack-based buffer overflow in the receive_tcppacket function in net_packet.c in tinc before 1.0.21 and 1.1 before 1.1pre7 allows remote authenticated peers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large TCP packet.
