CVE reference:CVE-2004-1261


Description:
Qiao Zhang has reported two vulnerabilities in asp2php, allowing malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to two boundary errors in the "preparse()" function, which is used when converting asp files into php. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted asp file.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires that a user is tricked into converting a malicious asp file.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.76.23. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Do not open asp files from untrusted sources.

Use another product.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Qiao Zhang
