Description Jan Lieskovsky 2013-04-29 13:57:07 UTC

A stack overflow flaw was found in the way boinc-client, a Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) client for distributed computing, performed processing of file signatures in certain cases. A rogue BOINC server could provide a specially-crafted file information XML element (containing multiple file signatures) that, when processed would lead to the boinc-client executable crash.
