Low Level Description : Ebola is a AntiVirus scanning daemon system
which offers to improve considerably the performance of scanning systems
such as AMaViS, Inflex and other such programs which require ondemand
scanning from various AV engines.

The Ebola daemon contains a remotely exploitable buffer overflow in its
authentication sequence.

This issue is caused by the handle_PASS() function in ebola.c

char outstr[100];
...
if (passwd) {
if (PASS_authenticate(username, passwd) == _PASS_OK) {
sprintf(outstr,"PASS NOT ACCEPTED for user \"%s\",
pass \"%s\".\n",username,passwd);
...

Please upgrade to version 0.1.5 of the ebola daemon.

Vendor Status : Paul L Daniels promptly responded to this issue,
a patch was available immediately after it was reported.
