Multiple buffer overflows in Spamdyke before 4.3.0 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to "serious errors in the usage of snprintf()/vsnprintf()" in which the return values may be larger than the size of the buffer.
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.
