Panda AdminSecure Communications Agent < 4.2 Packet Handling Remote Heap Overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 25768

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Description

The Panda AdminSecure Communications Agent software, which is used for centralized management of Panda Antivirus, is installed on the remote Windows host.

The version of Communications Agent on the remote host trusts a user-supplied length value for a memory allocation when processing traffic to TCP port 19226 or 19227 by default, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Communications Agent 4.2 or later.
