A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in SolarWinds DameWare Remote Support (Remote Access Software) (the affected version unknown). Affected is an unknown part. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The weakness was disclosed 08/31/2019 as not defined blog post (Website). The advisory is shared for download at xavibel.com. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

After immediately, there has been an exploit disclosed. The exploit is shared for download at xavibel.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The code used by the exploit is:
