The CWE-400 vulnerability is a buffer overflow in the scanf function of the C standard library. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a system by crafting a malicious input string that gets passed to scanf.

Not specified in advisory.
To fix this issue, you can use a safer alternative to scanf, such as fgets or sscanf with bounds checking. For example:
char buffer[1024];
printf("Enter your name: ");
fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), stdin);
Alternatively, you can use the secure version of scanf, which is not vulnerable to this issue.
