TITLE:
MaxDB Web Tools Buffer Overflow and Denial of Service Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA13397

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13397/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
From local network

SOFTWARE:
MaxDB 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/4012/

DESCRIPTION:
Evgeny Demidov has reported two vulnerabilities in MaxDB, which can
be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service)
or compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error within the WebDAV handler can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long
"Overwrite" header.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

2) A NULL pointer dereference error in WAHTTP can be exploited to
crash the service by sending a specially crafted HTTP request without
a "Host:" header.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 7.5.00.18 and
prior.

SOLUTION:
The vulnerabilities have reportedly been fixed in version 7.5.00.19:
