**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** BWA versions prior to 2019-01-23 **Description** The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the `bns restore` function in `bntseq.c` via a long sequence name in a `.alt` file. This can potentially allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 2019-01-23, consider updating to a version released after 2019-01-23 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of long sequence names in `.alt` files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
