DESCRIPTION:
David Maciejak has reported a vulnerability in NetScreen Security
Manager (NSM) which potentially can be exploited by malicious people
to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerability is caused due to an unspecified error in "guiSrv"
and "devSrv". This can be exploited to crash the service via
specially crafted input sent to port 7800 and 7801. The service
reportedly will automatically be restarted by the watchdog service
when it crashes.

The vulnerability has been reported in NSM 2004 FP2 and FP3. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version FP4r1 (2005.1).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
