CVE-2009-0839 describes a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in MapServer versions 4.x before 4.10.4 and 5.x before 5.2.2. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted 'id' parameter in a query action, specifically when the server's map configuration includes a long IMAGEPATH or NAME attribute. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this vulnerability is critical, requiring no authentication and having a low attack complexity, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
