CVE-2004-0769

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—

Buffer overflow in LHA allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long pathnames in LHarc format 2 headers for a .LHZ archive, as originally demonstrated using the "x" option but also exploitable through "l" and "v", and fixed in header.c, a different issue than CVE-2004-0771.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
