This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of software utilizing Steamcast. A boundary error can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a specially crafted GET HTTP request with an overly long path to the web server.
After successful exploitation an agent will be installed. This agent will inherit the user identity and capabilities of the abused service, usually the super user, but in some configurations it might be that of any other user in the target system.
The map_yp_alias function in functions/imap_general.php in SquirrelMail before 1.4.18 and NaSMail before 1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a username string that is used by the ypmatch program. This module works if map:map_yp_alias is set as the imap server address in config.php, which is not the default setting.
This module exploits a vulnerability in the Microsoft SQL Server. After successful exploitation an agent will be installed. If the attack was not successful, the server might stop responding (one-shot-exploit).
Multiple integer overflows in Microsoft ASN.1 library (MSASN1.DLL), as used in LSASS.EXE, CRYPT32.DLL, and other Microsoft executables and libraries on Windows NT 4.0, 2000, and XP, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via ASN.1 encodings that cause arbitrary heap data to be overwritten.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on installations of Soulseek Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. Soulseek Server is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability that occurs because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Specifically, this issue occurs when performing a direct peer file search.
The /opt/cma/bin/clear_keys.pl Perl script in Sophos Web Protection Appliance, which can be executed by the 'spiderman' user with the sudo command without password, is prone to an OS command injection vulnerability, because its close_connections() function does not escape the second argument of the script before using it within a string that will be executed as a command by using backticks. This vulnerability can be abused to escalate privileges within the appliance from 'spiderman' to root.
