Ghost Vulnerability – CVE-2015-0235

August 6, 2022 by Magenaut

Does the Ghost Vulnerability require access (as in being a logged in user) to the effected OS in question? Can someone clarify the ‘remote attacker that is able to make an application call’? I only seem to find tests to run on the local system directly but not from a remote host.
