The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the "replay()" function in src/replay.c, which can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking another user (usually with "root" privileges) into replaying a specially crafted recorded session. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.2.0. Other versions may also be affected, SOLUTION: Do not replay untrusted recorded sessions.
