CVE-2006-0855: Buffer Overflow
First published: Thu Feb 23 2006(Updated: )
Stack-based buffer overflow in the fullpath function in misc.c for zoo 2.10 and earlier, as used in products such as Barracuda Spam Firewall, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ZOO file that causes the combine function to return a longer string than expected.
