| Name | CVE-2008-1391 |
| Description | Multiple integer overflows in libc in NetBSD 4.x, FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x, and probably other BSD and Apple Mac OS platforms allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via large values of certain integer fields in the format argument to (1) the strfmon function in lib/libc/stdlib/strfmon.c, related to the GET_NUMBER macro; and (2) the printf function, related to left_prec and right_prec. |
| Source | CVE (at NVD; CERT, LWN, oss-sec, fulldisc, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Gentoo, SUSE bugzilla/CVE, GitHub advisories/code/issues, web search, more) |

Notes
- kfreebsd-6 <not-affected> (see bug #483152)
- kfreebsd-7 <not-affected> (see bug #483152)
[lenny] - glibc <no-dsa> (minor issue)
not sure if it is a security bug, an attacker should not be able to change the format string
