Commvault Edge Communication Service (cvd) prior to version 11 SP7 or version 11 SP6 with hotfix 590 is prone to a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability that could lead to arbitrary code execution with administrative privileges.
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
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.
