TITLE:
IBM Informix Products Setnet32 Utility ".nfx" Processing Buffer
Overflow
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36949
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36949/
DESCRIPTION:
bruiser has discovered a vulnerability in IBM Informix Client
Software Development Kit (CSDK) and IBM Informix Connect, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing
of ".nfx" files. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow when an ".nfx" file having e.g. an overly long "HostList"
entry is opened.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in setnet32.exe version 3.50.0.13752
included in IBM Informix CSDK version 3.50. Other versions may also
be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted ".nfx" files.
