Abuse Console Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
By passing an excessively long commandline argument to Abuse, it is possible to overrun a buffer. Exploiting this issue could allow a local attacker to overwrite sensitive memory variables, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code, within the context of the Abuse process.
Mitigation:
Update to a patched version of Abuse or apply appropriate security measures to prevent buffer overflows.
