ViRobot Linux Server addschup Multiple Overflows

critical Nessus Plugin ID 18494

Synopsis

The remote server is prone to a remote buffer overflow attack.

Description

The remote host is running ViRobot Linux Server, a commercial anti- virus product for Linux.

According to its banner, the installed version of ViRobot Linux Server suffers from a remote buffer overflow vulnerability in its web-based management interface. By passing specially crafted data through the 'ViRobot_ID' and 'ViRobot_PASS' cookies when calling the 'addschup' CGI script, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to write arbitrary data to root's crontab entry, thus giving him complete control over the affected host.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
