CVE Reference:
CAN-2004-0193
(Links to External Site)
|
Updated: Mar 4 2004
|
Original Entry Date: Feb 26 2004
|
Impact:
Execution of arbitrary code via network, Root access via network, User access via network
|
Fix Available: Yes Vendor Confirmed: Yes
|
Version(s): Network 7.0, XPU 20.15 through 22.9; Server Sensor 7.0 XPU 20.16 through 22.9; Desktop 7.0 eba through ebh; Desktop, Guard, and Sentry 3.6 ebr through ecb
|
Description:
A vulnerability was reported in ISS RealSecure in the parsing of Server Message Block (SMB) packets. A remote user may be able to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The flaw reportedly resides in the ISS Protocol Analysis Module (PAM) component of several ISS products, where the size of certain protocol fields is not properly validated.
A remote user can send a specially crafted SMB packet to cause the target system to execute arbitrary code. When the packet is reassembled for analysis, a heap-based overflow may occur. To trigger the overflow, a remote user can reportedly issue a "SMB Session Setup AndX request" packet with an AccountName parameter with a string of 300 bytes or greater.
Although the vendor report does not credit anyone, eEye Digital Security discovered the flaw. The eEye advisory is available at:

|
Impact:
A remote user can execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the target process.

Vulnerability in SMB Parsing in ISS Products
Synopsis:
A vulnerability was discovered in the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol
parsing routines of the ISS Protocol Analysis Module (PAM) component found
in some ISS products. The flaw relates to incorrect parsing of the SMB
protocol, which may lead to a heap overflow condition.
Affected Versions:
RealSecure Network 7.0, XPU 20.15 through 22.9
Real Secure Server Sensor 7.0 XPU 20.16 through 22.9
Proventia A Series XPU 20.15 through 22.9
Proventia G Series XPU 22.3 through 22.9
Proventia M Series XPU 1.3 through 1.7
RealSecure Desktop 7.0 eba through ebh
RealSecure Desktop 3.6 ebr through ecb
RealSecure Guard 3.6 ebr through ecb
RealSecure Sentry 3.6 ebr through ecb
BlackICE PC Protection 3.6 cbr through ccb
BlackICE Server Protection 3.6 cbr through ccb

Impact:
The vulnerability is caused by incorrect parsing of SMB information. The
flaw may be exploited due to insufficient size checks of certain protocol
fields. ISS X-Force believes that exploitation of this issue is possible.
In order to cause memory corruption, it is necessary to establish a
legitimate SMB connection to a server. This may be a mitigating factor in
many network configurations. Externally facing networks that do not allow
SMB connections are not vulnerable to attack.
