CVE-2010-5325

32
FAUCET Score

CVE-2010-5325 describes a critical heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the unhtmlify function of foomatic-rip within foomatic-filters prior to version 4.0.6, affecting products like Linux Foundation, Oracle, and Red Hat. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger a denial of service through memory corruption and crashes, or potentially execute arbitrary code, by submitting a crafted, excessively long job title. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), the vulnerability is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and no user interaction, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Despite its severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
