MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ZNC for Windows (znc-msvc) versions 0.206 and earlier
Description
The issue is a stack-based buffer overflow in the Fish plugin for ZNC, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending a long string in a DH1080 INIT message.
Recommendations
For ZNC for Windows (znc-msvc) versions 0.206 and earlier, update to a version later than 0.206 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Fish plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation.
