Motor is a text mode based programming environment for Linux, with a
|
||
|
|
syntax highlighting feature, project manager, makefile generator, gcc
|
||
|
|
and gdb front-end, and CVS integration.

In November 2005, Zone-H Research reported a boundary error in the
|
||
|
|
ktools library in the VGETSTRING() macro of kkstrtext.h, which may
|
||
|
|
cause a buffer overflow via an overly long input string.

|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to use a malicious file or input,
|
||
|
|
which could lead to the crash of Motor and possibly the execution of
|
||
|
|
arbitrary code.

There is no known workaround at this time.
