Stack-based buffer overflow in the silc_fingerprint function in lib/silcutil/silcutil.c in Secure Internet Live Conferencing (SILC) Toolkit 1.1.5, and unspecified earlier versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via long input data. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
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.
