Description:
Gary O'leary-Steele has reported a vulnerability in RSA Authentication Agent for Web for Internet Information Services, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by sending an overly long "chunk" of data via the chunked-encoding mechanism.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 5, 5.2, and 5.3. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vendor has reportedly issued a patch.
