A local attacker can exploit this flaw by providing an overly long command-line argument to the application. The vulnerability allows the attacker to overwrite the stack memory, inject and execute arbitrary code within the context of the yTree application. This could lead to a full system compromise if the attacker gains sufficient privileges. This vulnerability has been publicly known…</p> highadvisorycve-2016-20038buffer-overflowlocal-code-execution
