CVE-2004-2372 - Amenable Chains

Description

Buffer overflow in Bochs before 2.1.1 if installed setuid allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long HOME environment variable which is used if the .bochsrc bochsrc and bochsrc.txt cannot be found in a known path. NOTE: some external documents recommend that Bochs be installed setuid root so this should be treated as a vulnerability.
