Description:
Dr_insane has reported a vulnerability in efFingerD, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "sockFinger_DataArrival()" function when handling overly long arguments (180 bytes or more). This can be exploited to crash the daemon with a run-time error ("53: File not found").
During analysis another DoS issue was also discovered. The daemon can be crashed with a run-time error ("40006: Wrong protocol or connection state for requested transaction or request") by sending a malformed packet containing only a single byte of data.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.2.12.
