SAP Message Server HTTP group parameter buffer overflow
| sap-message-group-bo (35279) |  High Risk |
Description:
SAP Message Server is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when processing HTTP requests. By sending a specially-crafted GET request containing an overly long string to the group parameter, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with SYSTEM privileges or cause a denial of service.
