(Cscope: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    James Peach of Apple discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in
    cscope's handling of long file system paths (CVE-2009-0148). Multiple
    stack-based buffer overflows were reported in the putstring function
    when processing an overly long function name or symbol in a source code
    file (CVE-2009-1577).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
    source file, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary
    code with the privileges of the user running the application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
