CVE-2017-11111 describes a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Netwide Assembler (NASM) version 2.14rc0, affecting NASM itself and Canonical Ubuntu Linux distributions. This high-severity flaw (CVSS 7.8) can be triggered by a remote attacker via a crafted file, leading to a denial of service (application crash) and potentially other unspecified impacts. While the attack requires user interaction (UI:R) and local access (AV:L), the potential for high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) is significant. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or community discussion surrounding this vulnerability.
