What is CVE-2019-5178?

An exploitable stack buffer overflow exists in the iocheckd service's I/O-Check functionality within WAGO PFC 200 Firmware. An attacker can send a specially crafted packet that, when parsed, causes an overflow of the destination buffer. The overflow occurs during hostname value processing, specifically if the provided hostname exceeds a certain length, leading to potential service crashes. This vulnerability highlights the importance of secure coding practices and robust validation of input data.
