TITLE:
Linear eMerge Management Component Security Bypass

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38048

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38048/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Linear eMerge, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions
and cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the management
component when handling HTTP requests. This can be exploited to reset
the configuration of the management component and disconnect it from
the network by requesting a specially crafted URL.

NOTE: Node components continue to function normally after the
vulnerability is exploited.

The vulnerability is reported in all 2.5.x versions. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
An upgrade script fixing the vulnerability is reportedly available.
Please contact the vendor for more information.
