Description:
Matthias Bethke has reported some vulnerabilities in SARA from British National Corpus, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors in the sarad daemon when parsing traffic from clients. This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted, overly long string to the sarad daemon.
Solution:
The vulnerabilities have been fixed in a fork of the project.
Restrict access to the service.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Matthias Bethke
