SonicWALL Global VPN Client < 4.0.0.830 Format String Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 38929

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains a program that is affected by multiple format string vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of the SonicWALL Global VPN Client software installed on the remote Windows host fails to sanitize the 'name' attribute of the 'Connection' tag and the content of the 'Hostname' tag in the configuration file of format strings. If an attacker can trick a user on the affected host into importing a specially crafted configuration file, the attacker could leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected host subject to the user's privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to SonicWALL VPN client 4.0.0.830 as that reportedly resolves the issue.
