CRITICAL 9.8CVE-2012-10060 · Published 13/08/2025 · updated 16/06/2026

Package	Affected versions	Patched versions
multi server sysax	`< 5.55`	`5.55`

Description

Sysax Multi Server versions prior to 5.55 contain a stack-based buffer overflow in its SSH service. When a remote attacker supplies an overly long username during authentication, the server copies the input to a fixed-size stack buffer without proper bounds checking. This allows remote code execution under the context of the service.
