TITLE

Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Trust: 0.9

sources: BID: 11043 // CNNVD: CNNVD-200410-069

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in the _maincfgret.cgi script for Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold before 8.03 Hotfix 1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long instancename parameter. Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold is affected by a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to properly validate user-supplied string lengths before copying them into static process buffers. An attacker might leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected computer with the privileges of the user that started the vulnerable application. The software supports the performance management of networks, servers, virtual environments and applications. The _maincfgret.cgi program of WhatsUp Gold does not correctly check and filter the instancename parameter submitted by the user. <**>. BACKGROUND Ipswitch WhatsUp Gold is a Microsoft Windows based network monitoring application. More information is available at: http://www.Ipswitch.com/products/whatsup/index.html II. The problem specifically exists in the _maincfgret.cgi script accessible through the web server installed by WhatsUp Gold. III. The WhatsUp Gold web server is not enabled by default. IV. DETECTION iDEFENSE has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability against WhatsUp Gold version 8.03. iDEFENSE has confirmed that the latest version of WhatsUp Gold, version 8.03 Hotfix 1, is not vulnerable. V. WORKAROUND Disable the WhatsUp Gold web server if it is not required. VI. VII. CVE INFORMATION The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CAN-2004-0798 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org), which standardizes names for security problems. VIII.
