Description

Telecat BBS contains a flaw that may allow a user to gain elevated privileges. The issue occurs when a user posts a message, types a line of text and attempts to center the text with a CTRL-V. In some cases, this will cause the program to fail and give access to the BASIC interpreter. In other cases, it may hang the BBS and require the SYSOP to reboot the system.
