NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream audit package and not the audit package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the audit_log_user_command function in lib/audit_logging.c in Linux Audit before 1.7 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long command argument. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
