| cryptomathic-primeink-createpkcs10-bo (26255) |  High Risk |
Description:
Cryptomathic PRIMEINK CSP is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the createPKCS10() method in the cenroll.dll library. By sending an overly long string to the first argument of the method, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Note: The affected library is only distributed as part of the TDC' Microsoft CSP Suite in Denmark.
