Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2021-38185
**DESCRIPTION:**GNU cpio could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow that triggers an out-of-bounds heap write in the ds_fgetstr function in dstring.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted crafted pattern file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/207047 for the current score.
