Descriptions

Format string vulnerability in RealNetworks Helix Server 12.x, 13.x, and 14.x before 14.2, and Helix Mobile Server 12.x, 13.x, and 14.x before 14.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the x-wap-profile HTTP header.

Vulnerabilidad de formato de cadena en RealNetworks Helix Server v12.x, v13.x, y v14.x antes de v14.2, y Helix Mobile Server v12.x, v13.x, y v14.x antes de 14.2, permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección a través de vectores relacionado con el encabezado HTTP x-wap-perfil.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Helix Server products. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the rmserver.exe process. This process is active by default on all Helix Server installations. Due to a failure to properly sanitize the contents of the 'x-wap-profile' header, it is possible to provide malicious data that is passed directly to a format string function. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code under the context of the SYSTEM user.
