DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Orb, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow when
processing the number of dimensions in an array of variant types
received as part of an RPC request. This can be exploited to cause a
heap-based buffer overflow by specifying an overly large number of
array dimensions.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.00.1014. Other versions
may be vulnerable.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.00.1084.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
