VULHUB ™

The curses library is a basic system library that is used for CRT screen handling. It is used by many terminal independent character-based applications. The version of libcurses used by multiple vendors contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. Malicious local users may be able to exploit this vulnerability in setuid programs linked to libcurses to elevate privileges.
