CVE-2010-3844

The CVE-2010-3844 entry concerns Ettercap before version 0.7.5, where an unchecked sscanf() call allows an insecure temporary settings file to overflow a stack-allocated, fixed-size buffer. Public documents in connected sources corroborate the same description. Impact indicators in the related CV...

CVE-2019-15900

An issue was discovered in slicer69 doas before 6.2 on certain platforms other than OpenBSD. On platforms without strtonum3, sscanf was used without checking for error cases. Instead, the uninitialized variable errstr was checked and in some cases returned success even if sscanf failed. The resul...

The vulnerability of the libavformat library in the Ffmpeg multimedia environment allows attackers to compromise data integrity, gain unauthorized access to protected information, and cause service failures.

The vulnerability of the libavformat library in the Ffmpeg multimedia environment is related to the lack of checking the return value of the sscanf function. This can lead to the use of uninitialized variables. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to compromise data...
