Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in the msx_readnode function in libmosix.c in openmosix-tools (aka userspace-tools) in openMosix might allow local users to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a third-party program that calls this function with a long item argument. NOTE: the vendor does not provide any program that is capable of causing this overflow.
