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. Exploit code is publicly available, including multiple Metasploit modules and entries on ExploitDB, though there is no evidence of active exploitation in the wild or significant community discussion.
