9.3

High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Cscope versions prior to 15.6

Description: The issue is related to multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the putstring function. This occurs when handling long function names or symbols in source-code files, potentially allowing user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 15.6, update to version 15.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the input of function names and symbols in source-code files to prevent exploitation.
