SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38733
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38733/
DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in RemoteExec, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
RemoteExec Computers List files. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow via a ".rec" file having an overly long
line.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires that a user is tricked into loading a malicious computers
list file.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 4.04. Prior versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.05.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
