Buffer overflow in Advanced TFTP (atftp) 0.5 and 0.6, if installed setuid or setgid, may allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the -g option.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
