Novell File Reporter Agent XML Tag Handling Buffer Overflow

critical Nessus Plugin ID 53536

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a service that is vulnerable to a remote buffer overflow attack.

Description

The version of Novell File Reporter (NFR) Agent installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 1.0.4.2. Such versions reportedly have a buffer overflow vulnerability because the service, which listens by default on TCP port 3037, blindly copies user-supplied data into a fixed-length buffer on the stack when handling the contents of an XML tag.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker with access to the agent service can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user.

Solution

Upgrade to Novell File Reporter 1.0.2, which includes NFR Agent version 1.0.4.2.
