Description

Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Motorola Timbuktu Pro, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a user's system.

1) An error exists within the handling of attachments, which can be exploited to upload malicious files to arbitrary directories on a vulnerable system (e.g. the "Startup" folder") via a specially crafted message containing directory traversal sequences.

This is related to vulnerability #1 in:
SA26588

2) An error in the processing of instant messages can be exploited to terminate the application via specially crafted messages, containing e.g. an invalid "Version" field, sent to an affected system (port 407/TCP).

3) An error in the processing of instant messages can be exploited to consume a large amount of CPU resources by sending an incomplete message to an affected system (port 407/TCP).

NOTE: A log file manipulation issue via "\n" characters in specially crafted packets has also been reported.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in Timbuktu Pro for Windows version 8.6.5 (RC 229). Other versions may also be affected.
