An exploitable command execution vulnerability exists in the print-tlv command of Weave tool. A specially crafted weave TLV can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in code execution. An attacker can trigger this vulnerability by convincing the user to open a specially crafted Weave command.
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 writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
