CVE-1999-1111 describes a vulnerability in StackGuard versions prior to 1.21. This flaw allows remote attackers to bypass the Random and Terminator Canary security mechanisms by directly manipulating a return address pointer, rather than relying on a buffer overflow. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), this vulnerability presents a significant risk due to its low attack complexity and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its age and severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or community discussion surrounding this CVE.
