Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator and ProtectionPilot (Endpoint Management Software) (the affected version is unknown). Affected is an unknown code of the component Management Agent. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 3.5 through 3.6.1, ProtectionPilot 1.1.1 and 1.5, and Common Management Agent (CMA) 3.6.0.453 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted ping packet.

The bug was discovered 07/10/2007. The weakness was released 07/10/2007 by Neel Mehta with IBM ISS X-Force (Website). The advisory is shared for download at knowledge.mcafee.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2006-5272 since 10/13/2006. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 25702 (McAfee Common Management Agent < 3.6.0.546 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CGI abuses and running in the context r. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 42003 (McAfee Common Management Agent Multiple Vulnerabilities).
