TITLE:
NewsBin Pro NBI Configuration File Processing Buffer Overflow
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24261/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
System access
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
NewsBin Pro 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/13542/
DESCRIPTION:
Marsu Pilami has discovered a vulnerability in NewsBin Pro, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
NBI configuration files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow via a specially crafted NBI file with an overly long
(greater than 512 bytes) DataPath value.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that the user is tricked into e.g. loading a malicious NBI
configuration file.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.33. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted NBI files.
