Problem Note 65335: Tabs in code data lines cause a buffer overflow in the nlmnyloc routine
 |  |  |  |  |
Severity: Medium
Description: SAS® Studio generates the message "An exception was thrown while sending a packet to the peer." When data lines contain tab separators, the DATA step fails. A buffer overrun condition then occurs.
Potential Impact: The above condition could result in a lack of confidentiality or availability that might result in a cyber breach.
