Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for remote buffer overflow vulnerabilities in ELOG

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server is affected by remote buffer overflow flaws.

Description :

The remote host appears to be using ELOG, a web-based electronic
logbook application.

The version of ELOG installed on the remote host crashes when it
receives HTTP requests with excessive data for the 'mode' and 'cmd'
parameters. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit these
issues to execute arbitrary code on the remote host subject to the
rights under which the application runs.
