Summary
PInfo w wersji 0.6.9-5.1 zawiera lokalną podatność na przepełnienie bufora, która umożliwia lokalnym atakującym wykonanie dowolnego kodu poprzez dostarczenie zbyt dużego argumentu do parametru -m. Atakujący mogą stworzyć złośliwy ciąg wejściowy z 564 bajtami wypełnienia, a następnie adresem powrotu, aby nadpisać wskaźnik instrukcji i wykonać shellcode z uprawnieniami użytkownika.
Risk Assessment
Podatność ta stwarza poważne ryzyko dla bezpieczeństwa systemu, ponieważ umożliwia lokalnym atakującym uzyskanie nieautoryzowanego dostępu i wykonanie dowolnego kodu. Może to prowadzić do przejęcia kontroli nad systemem lub wycieku danych.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację PInfo do najnowszej wersji, która eliminuje tę podatność. Dodatkowo, należy ograniczyć dostęp do aplikacji tylko dla zaufanych użytkowników oraz monitorować systemy pod kątem nieautoryzowanych działań.

Original NVD description (English source)
PInfo 0.6.9-5.1 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an oversized argument to the -m parameter. Attackers can craft a malicious input string with 564 bytes of padding followed by a return address to overwrite the instruction pointer and execute shellcode with user privileges.
