CVE-2005-1099

79
FAUCET Score

CVE-2005-1099 describes multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the HandleChild function of Greylisting daemon (GLD) versions 1.3 and 1.4. When GLD is configured to listen on a network interface, remote attackers can exploit these flaws to execute arbitrary code on the affected system. This vulnerability carries a critical CVSS score of 10.0, indicating a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
