VFU Move Entry Buffer Overflow
VFU 4.10 (probably up to 4.14) contains a buffer overflow when a user moves a file entry around with a large filename. To trigger this vulnerability, extensive user interaction is required. Steps to reproduce the bug: create a file with a large (>115 characters), run VFU and select 'A' and then 'V' to move the large file entry around. Upon confirming the entry move, VFU crashes due to a buffer overflow in this function. This overflow allows execution of arbitrary commands with the privilege of the current user.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user input is properly validated and sanitized before being used in any system operations.
