Synopsis

The remote Windows host has an application that is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

McAfee E-Business Server, an enterprise tool for digitally encrypting and signing electronic files, is installed on the remote host.

The Administration Agent component of the version of McAfee E-Business Server installed on the remote host reportedly fails to validate the length from a packet header before using it to try to read input.
