ELOG Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 20321

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by remote buffer overflow flaws.

Description

The remote host appears to be using ELOG, a web-based electronic logbook application.

The version of ELOG installed on the remote host crashes when it receives HTTP requests with excessive data for the 'mode' and 'cmd' parameters. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the privileges under which the application runs.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
