| Vector | AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
BusyBox versions through 1.37.0
Description
The issue allows local users to launch a network application with an argv[0] containing an ANSI terminal escape sequence. This can lead to a denial of service when netstat is used by a victim, causing the terminal to lock up.
Recommendations
For BusyBox versions through 1.37.0, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of netstat until a patch is available. Avoid using network applications with argv[0] containing ANSI terminal escape sequences in the affected versions.
Fix
DoS
