Gnustep · Gnustep-Base · CVE-2010-1620
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GNUstep Base versions prior to 1.20.0
GNUstep Base versions prior to 1.20.1
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the load iface function in Tools/gdomap.c in gdomap, which might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a file or socket that provides configuration data with many entries, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. Additionally, there are multiple vulnerabilities in the gnustep-base package that can lead to violations of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information, and these can be exploited locally.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.20.0, update to version 1.20.0 or later.
For versions prior to 1.20.1, update to version 1.20.1 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the load iface function in Tools/gdomap.c until a patch is available.
