Official Description
Buffer overflows in Ecartis (formerly Listar) 1.0.0 in snapshot 20020427 and earlier allow local users to gain privileges via (1) a long command line argument, which is not properly handled in core.c, or possibly via bad uses of sprintf() in (2) moderate.c, (3) lcgi.c, (4) fileapi.c, (5) cookie.c, (6) codes.c, or other files.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2002-0468 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2002-0468. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
