It is reported that TildeSlash Monit is vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability during authentication handling. This issue arises due to a failure of the affected application to properly handle user-supplied strings when copying them into finite stack-based buffers. Successful exploitation of this issue allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code as the superuser; facilitating unauthorized access and privilege escalation.
