Vulnerability Name:

CCN-6050

Published:2001-01-19
Updated:2001-01-19
Summary:On many i386 systems using gcc/g++, a local attacker can overflow the "objects" variable and overwrite memory values on the stack to gain control over the program being executed. GCC and G++ are C compilers for Unix and Linux systems.
