Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the CA License software, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error within the log message generation can be exploited to cause buffer overflows by supplying a packet with an overly long (more than 2100 bytes), invalid command.

2) A boundary error within the handling of filenames in PUTOLF requests can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by passing an overly long filename (more than 252 bytes).

3) An input validation error within the handling of filenames in PUTOLF requests can be exploited to create files in arbitrary directories via directory traversal attacks.

4) A boundary error within the handling of GETCONFIG requests can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted GETCONFIG request.

5) A boundary error within the handling of GCR requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted GCR packet containing overly large values in the IP address, hostname, and netmask fields.

6) A boundary error within the handling of GCR requests can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted GCR packet containing overly long strings in some fields of the Checksums item.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities allows execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM or root privileges.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in CA License software versions 1.53 through 1.61.8.

NOTE: The license package is reportedly included with the majority of CA products. However, it is not clear which products don't include this package, as a list hasn't been published by the vendor.
