VULHUB ™

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the popular shar utility packaged in the GNU sharutils distribution, due to a lack of bounds checking when handling the -o command-line option. By default, this file is not setuid nor setgid, but if used in conjunction with other tools, it is possible that this can be manipulated for nefarious purposes.
