Description
Stack-based buffer overflow in Orbit Downloader 2.8.2 and 2.8.3, and possibly other versions before 2.8.5, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP URL with a long host name, which is not properly handled when constructing a "Connecting" log message.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
