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

Description:
n00b has discovered a vulnerability in TFTP Server MT, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when constructing the absolute path to a requested resource. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by supplying an overly long string (about 260 bytes) as a resource in a request.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 1.1 and 1.3. Other versions may also be affected.
