| VULNERABILITY DETAILS |
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of BMC Perform Agent. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the service daemon which listens by default on TCP port 6768. When processing the BGS_MULTIPLE_READS commands a user-supplied length value is trusted and utilized in reading arbitrary data into a stack buffer. By providing large enough values a remote attacker can abuse this to execute remote code under the context of the SYSTEM user. |
