Vulnerability

July 25, 2007
-- CVE ID:
CVE-2007-3911
-- Affected Vendor:
BakBone
-- Affected Products:
BakBone NetVault Reporter 3.5 < Update4
-- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection:
TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this
vulnerability since July 24, 2007 by Digital Vaccine protection
filter ID 5215. For further product information on the TippingPoint IPS:

-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
systems with affected installations of BakBone NetVault Reporter. User
interaction is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists both within the scheduler client
(clsscheduler.exe) listening on TCP port 7978 and the scheduler server
(srvscheduler.exe) listening on TCP port 7977. In both cases an
exploitable heap corruption can occur during the processing of overly
long filename arguments to the "GET" and "POST" requests. Code
execution is possible under the context of the SYSTEM user.
When searching for a termination/whitespace character ("\r\t\n") a heap
chunk is being used to hold the data. Due to the lack of bounds checking
on this heap chunk an overflow occurs when a long string without any of
the above special characters are encountered. The vulnerable code
appears below.
0x00466C07 mov al, [esi+ebp]
0x00466C0A cmp al, 20h
0x00466C0C jz short loc_466C84
