CVE-2003-0373: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Jun 06 2003(Updated: )
Multiple buffer overflows in libnasl in Nessus before 2.0.6 allow local users with plugin upload privileges to cause a denial of service (core dump) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) a long proto argument to the scanner_add_port function, (2) a long user argument to the ftp_log_in function, (3) a long pass argument to the ftp_log_in function.
