Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in SCO OpenServer 5.0.6/5.0.6a/5.0.7 (Operating System). Affected is an unknown code of the component Server. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple buffer overflows in MMDF on OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7, and possibly other operating systems, may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated via the execmail program.

The weakness was disclosed 02/06/2004 by Deprotect Advisories (Website). The advisory is shared for download at ftp.sco.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2004-0510 since 06/01/2004. The exploitability is told to be easy. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed by Ramon Valle in ANSI C and been published 10 months after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.
