First report in 1 hour! www.beyondsecurity.com/vulnerability-scanner Vulnerable systems:  * nfs-utils version 1.0.3 and prior Immune systems:  * nfs-utils version 1.0.4 and above An off-by-one bug exist in xlog() function which handles logging of requests. An overflow occurs when function is trying to add missing trailing new line character to logged string. Due to miscalculation, if a string passed to the functions is equal or longer than 1023 bytes, the '\0' byte will be written beyond the buffer: - ------8<------cut-here------8<------         char buff[1024];         ...           va_start(args, fmt);         vsnprintf(buff, sizeof (buff), fmt, args);         va_end(args);         buff[sizeof (buff) - 1] = 0;         if ((n = strlen(buff)) > 0 && buff[n-1] != '\n') {                 buff[n++] = '\n'; buff[n++] = '\0';         } - ------8<------cut-here------8<------ Impact: Local or remote attacker that is capable of sending an RPC request to a vulnerable mount daemon could execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service. Vendor status: Vendor has been notified on June 10, 2003. The fix is incorporated in recent 1.0.4 release of nfs-utils.  Comments: blog comments powered by Disqus	All Sections Security News Unix focus Exploits Tools Windows focus Security Reviews  Related Articles ProFTPD Response Pool Use-After-Free Code Execution Vulnerability Insight Control for Linux Multiple Vulnerabilities HP-UX Running NFS/ONCplus Denial of Service Vulnerability HP-UX Running BIND Denial of Service Vulnerability 2011 HP-UX Running XNTP Denial of Service Vulnerability HP-UX Denial of Service Vulnerability Webkit Detached Body Element Code Execution Vulnerability Mac OS X Compact Font Format Decoder Code Execution Vulnerability WebKit WBR Tag Removal Code Execution Vulnerability Webkit Undefined DOM Prototype Attach Code Execution Vulnerability Apple HFS Information Disclosure Vulnerability XPDF arbitrary Arbitrary Code Execution Vulnerabilities Hewlett-Packard Data Protector Client EXEC_CMD omni_chk_ds.sh Code Execution Vulnerability Red Hat OpenJDK IcedTea6 ClassLoader Code Execution Vulnerability HP-UX Apache Running Tomcat Servlet Engine Remote Modification and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities  Featured Articles ProFTPD Response Pool Use-After-Free Code Execution Vulnerability HP Data Protector Notebook Extension LogClientInstallation SQL Injection Vulnerabilty GE Proficy Historian ihDataArchiver.exe Trusted Header Size Code Execution Vulnerability Novell ZENWorks Software Packaging Antique ActiveX Control Code Execution Vulnerability Adobe Reader U3D IFF RGBA Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability Adobe Reader U3D PCX Parsing Code Execution Vulnerability Cisco Unified Service Monitor brstart add_dm Code Execution Vulnerability
