Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities in CA License Client and Server

CVE-2005-0581

What is CVE-2005-0581?

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the CA License Client and Server 0.1.0.15, enabling remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerabilities can be triggered via specific long input fields in GCR requests—such as lengthy values in the Checksum item, IP address, hostname, and netmask parameters—as well as excessive lengths in GETCONFIG packets and requests with invalid formats. Successful exploitation may compromise the security of the affected systems, leading to unauthorized operations.
