FreeBSD : gsoap -- remote code execution via via overflow (8745c67e-7dd1-4165-96e2-fcf9da2dc5b5) (Devil's Ivy)

high Nessus Plugin ID 101967

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Senrio reports :

Genivia gSOAP is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

A remote attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected device. Failed attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition.

Solution

Update the affected package.
