Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold's web server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The problem is caused due to a boundary error in the script "_maincfgret.cgi". This can be exploited by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request containing an overly long value for the "instancename" parameter.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 8.03. Other versions may also be affected.

NOTE: The Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold's web server is not enabled by default.
