DESCRIPTION:
Context Information Security has reported a vulnerability in SAP
NetWeaver, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
SAPHostControl service when handling certain commands wrapped in SOAP
messages and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow
via an overly long command.

The vulnerability is reported in version 7.02. Other versions may
also be affected.
