CVE-2006-1269
NVD-CWE-OtherPublished: March 19, 2006· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
Buffer overflow in the parse function in parse.c in zoo 2.10 might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long filename command line arguments, which are not properly handled during archive creation. NOTE: since this issue is local and not setuid, the set of attack scenarios is limited, although is reasonable to expect that there are some situations in which the zoo user might automatically list attacker-controlled filenames to add to the zoo archive.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-1269 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-2006-1269. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
