iTechnology iGateway Content-Length Buffer Overflow Vulnerability |

Checks for Content-Length buffer overflow vulnerability in iTechnology iGateway Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability. Description : The remote host is using Computer Associates iTechnology iGateway service, a software component used in various products from Computer Associates. The version of the iGateway service installed on the remote host reportedly fails to sanitize Content-Length HTTP header values before using them to allocate heap memory. A possible hacker can supply a negative value, which causes the software to allocate a small buffer, and then overflow that with a long URI. Successful exploitation of this issue can lead to a server crash or possibly the execution of arbitrary code. Note that, under Windows, the server runs with local SYSTEM rights.
