source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/30589/info The finger service ('fingerd') on OpenVMS is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions. We were not told which versions are affected. We will update this BID as more information emerges. echo `perl -e 'print "a"x1000'` | nc -v victim.example.com 79
