DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in OpenVAS Manager, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error in the
"email()" function in manage_sql.c while processing OMP (OpenVAS
Management Protocol) requests. This can be exploited to inject and
execute arbitrary shell commands via a specially crafted request sent
using the Greenbone Security Assistant web application.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 1.0.3 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.4.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Ronald Kingma and Alexander van Eee, ISSX.
