  "title": "net-tools Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability",
  "description": "net-tools is a collection of programs that form the base set of the NET-3networking distribution for the Linux operating system. Inn versions up toand including 2.10, the Linux network utilities (like ifconfig) from thenet-tools package do not properly validate the structure of /proc fileswhen showing interfaces. \u0060get_name()\u0060 in \u0060interface.c\u0060 copies interfacelabels from \u0060/proc/net/dev\u0060 into a fixed 16-byte stack buffer withoutbounds checking, leading to possible arbitrary code execution or crash. Theknown attack path does not require privilege but also does not provideprivilege escalation in this scenario. A patch is available and expected tobe part of version 2.20.",
