AFD 1.2.14 lpd exploit
AFD (Automatic File Distributor) is prone to a number of locally exploitable stack and heap based buffer overflow conditions. These issues are all related to insufficient bounds checking of externally supplied values for the working directory, either via the command line or through an environment variable. A number of the vulnerable AFD binaries are installed setuid root and may potentially be exploited by a local attacker to execute arbitrary code as root.
Mitigation:
Ensure that bounds checking is performed on all externally supplied values for the working directory, either via the command line or through an environment variable.
