+ Adam Zabrocki reported a boundary error within the split_redraw() + function in the file split.c, possibly leading to a stack-based buffer + overflow. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could use a specially crafted resolved hostname to + execute arbitrary code with root privileges. However, it is required + that the attacker controls the DNS server used by the victim, and that + the "-p" (or "--split") command line option is used. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time. +
