Ganglia · Ganglia · CVE-2009-0241
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Ganglia version 3.1.1
**Description**
The issue is related to a stack-based buffer overflow in the `process path` function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) by sending a request to the gmetad service with a long pathname. Additionally, there are multiple vulnerabilities in the gmetad package that can lead to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information, and these can be exploited remotely.
**Recommendations**
For Ganglia version 3.1.1, consider disabling the `process path` function in the gmetad service as a temporary workaround to prevent exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
