iDEFENSE Security Advisory 2004-08-25.t

Posted Aug 26, 2004

iDEFENSE Security Advisory 08.25.04 - Remote exploitation of a buffer overflow vulnerability in Ipswitch Inc.'s WhatsUp Gold allows attackers to execute arbitrary code under the privileges of the user that instantiated the application. The problem specifically exists in the _maincfgret.cgi script accessible through the web server installed by WhatsUp Gold. By posting a long string for the value of 'instancename', a buffer overflow occurs allowing an attacker to redirect the flow of control and eventually execute arbitrary code. Fixed in version 8.03 Hotfix 1.
