Summary

C-Kermit before 11.1.515 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in putsrv() in ckcfns.c that allows malicious peers to write past the srvcmd buffer by sending crafted packets. Attackers can use Kermit repeat-count compression in server command, GET, or file-header packets to write attacker-chosen bytes beyond the heap buffer on servers or receiving instances.
