Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: mgetty versions prior to 1.2.1

Description: The issue is related to an infinite loop, which can cause a denial of service (DoS) as the program never terminates. This is due to a problem in the g3/g32pbm.c component. The attack vector is local, requiring the user to open a specially crafted file to exploit the issue.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.2.1, update to version 1.2.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the g3/g32pbm.c component until the update is applied.
