Multiple buffer overflows in UMN gopher daemon (gopherd) 2.x and 3.x before 3.0.6 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a long filename as a result of a LIST command, and (2) the GSisText function, which calculates the view-type.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy remote code execution risk in the UMN gopher daemon. If an organization still runs vulnerable 2.x or 3.x versions before 3.0.6, an attacker could potentially crash or take control of that service. Exposure is likely limited to older systems. Systems still running UMN gopherd 2.x or 3.x before 3.0.6 are the relevant exposure. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so validation should focus on installed software, legacy servers, and externally reachable gopher services. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing or untrusted-access UMN gopherd instance exists. If no UMN gopherd is present, record the finding as not applicable. The business risk is concentrated in legacy infrastructure. Mitigation focus: Upgrade UMN gopherd to 3.0.6 or a vendor-patched package.; Apply Debian DSA-387 guidance where Debian packages are in use.; Retire UMN gopherd if the service is no longer required..
