Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in McAfee E-Business Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow within the e-Business administration utility service when parsing authentication packets. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted authentication packet with an overly large length value.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
Solution:
Update to E-Business Server 8.5.3 for Solaris or E-Business Server 8.1.2 for Linux/HP-UX/AIX.
NOTE: The Windows version is not affected.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Dyon Balding, Secunia Research.
