MobiLink Server < 10.0.1 build 3649 mlsrv10.exe Multiple Remote Overflows

critical Nessus Plugin ID 31719

Synopsis

The remote Windows host has a program that is prone to a buffer overflow attack.

Description

The version of the SQL Anywhere MobiLink Server installed on the remote host reportedly is affected by a heap-based buffer overflow when handling strings such as the username, version, and remote ID longer than 128 bytes. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

Solution

Upgrade to SQL Anywhere 10.0.1 build 3649 or later as that reportedly addresses the issues.
