Buffer overflow in the processLine function in maptemplate.c in MapServer before 4.10.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a mapfile with a long layer name, group name, or metadata entry name.
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.
