FakeBO buffer overflow

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Overflows FakeBO's buffers

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

We detected a possible buffer overflow
in the service FakeBO.
A possible hacker may connect to this port,
then send a specially crafted buffer
which will give him a shell.

Solution : disable this service. It's
useless anyway. At worst, upgrade.
