CVE-1999-0832

Summary

CVE-1999-0832 is a significant buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Linux NFS (Network File System) servers. This issue arises when the server processes a long pathname, resulting in an overflow of the buffer. Malicious actors can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the affected system, potentially leading to serious security consequences. Attackers can manipulate the length of a file or directory path to trigger the buffer overflow, allowing them to inject and execute malicious code. Organizations running NFS servers on Linux should promptly apply the available patches to mitigate this risk.
