McAfee E-Business Server authentication packet buffer overflow
| mcafee-ebusiness-auth-packet-bo (38175) |  High Risk |
Description:
McAfee E-Business Server is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by an integer overflow in the e-Business administration utility service. By sending a specially-crafted authentication packet with an overly large length value, a remote attacker from within the local network could exploit this vulnerability to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.
