(WordNet: Execution of arbitrary code)

    Jukka Ruohonen initially reported a boundary error within the
    searchwn() function in src/wn.c. A thorough investigation by the oCERT
    team revealed several other vulnerabilities in WordNet:
    Jukka Ruohonen and Rob Holland (oCERT) reported multiple boundary
    errors within the searchwn() function in src/wn.c, the wngrep()
    function in lib/search.c, the morphstr() and morphword() functions in
    lib/morph.c, and the getindex() in lib/search.c, which lead to
    stack-based buffer overflows.
    Rob Holland (oCERT) reported two
    boundary errors within the do_init() function in lib/morph.c, which
    lead to stack-based buffer overflows via specially crafted
    'WNSEARCHDIR' or 'WNHOME' environment variables.
    Rob Holland
    (oCERT) reported multiple boundary errors in the bin_search() and
    bin_search_key() functions in binsrch.c, which lead to stack-based
    buffer overflows via specially crafted data files.
    Rob Holland
    (oCERT) reported a boundary error within the parse_index() function in
    lib/search.c, which leads to a heap-based buffer overflow via specially
    crafted data files.
  
Impact :

    In case the application is accessible e.g. via a web server,
    a remote attacker could pass overly long strings as arguments to the
    'wm' binary, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
    A local attacker could exploit the second vulnerability via
    specially crafted 'WNSEARCHDIR' or 'WNHOME' environment variables,
    possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with escalated
    privileges.
    A local attacker could exploit the third and
    fourth vulnerability by making the application use specially crafted
    data files, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
