DESCRIPTION:
Mark Litchfield has reported a vulnerability in SAP Message Server,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
HTTP requests and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow via e.g a specially crafted GET request to
/msgserver/html/group with an overly long (around 498 bytes) string
passed to the "group" parameter.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
SOLUTION:
Update to the latest version.
