CVE-2016-2851: Buffer Overflow
First published: Thu Apr 07 2016(Updated: )
Integer overflow in proto.c in libotr before 4.1.1 on 64-bit platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a series of large OTR messages, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
