Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Integrated Computer Solutions OpenMotif 2.2.3. This affects the function open_source_file of the file uildiags.c. 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. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple buffer overflows in libUil (libUil.so) in OpenMotif 2.2.3, and possibly other versions, allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via the (1) diag_issue_diagnostic function in UilDiags.c and (2) open_source_file function in UilSrcSrc.c.

The weakness was presented 12/02/2005 by alert7 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at vupen.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-3964 since 12/02/2005. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 20357 (GLSA-200512-16 : OpenMotif, AMD64 x86 emulation X libraries: Buffer overflows in libUil library), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
