Buffer Overflow in getlvcb utility
When an argument is passed to the getlvcb utility, the string is copied into a reserved buffer in memory. Data that exceeds the size of the reserved buffer will overflow its bounds and will trample any saved data that is adjacent to the affected buffer. Ultimately this may lead to the execution of arbitrary instructions in the context of the root user.
