VULNERABILITY DETAILS


This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable applications using DataDirect's SequeLink. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.

The specific flaw exists within how the application processes GIOP packets. When processing a specific GIOP packet, the application will trust a size field in the packet. The application will use this size in a copy operation into a statically sized buffer which can cause a buffer overflow. This can lead to code execution under the context of the service.
