Description Flags
Original Debian patch for CVE-2004-2541 none

Description Tomas Hoger 2009-03-17 15:12:32 UTC
Apple Security Team reported multiple buffer overflows in cscope, caused by insecure sprintf usage.  Processing a maliciously crafted source file with cscope may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.

Comment 4 Tomas Hoger 2009-05-05 14:38:11 UTC
This CVE is duplicate / re-occurrence of old issue CVE-2004-2541:

Buffer overflow in Cscope 15.5, and possibly multiple overflows, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a C file with a long #include line that is later browsed by the target.

It seems the original issue was not completely fixed upstream previously.
