The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in fopen_wrappers.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted filename to the affected application, trigger a one-byte buffer overflow and crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code.
