Descriptions

Icihttp.exe in CA Gateway Security for HTTP, as used in CA Gateway Security 8.1 before 8.1.0.69 and CA Total Defense r12, does not properly parse URLs, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and daemon crash) via a malformed request.

Icihttp.exe en CA Gateway Security para HTTP, como se usa en CA Gateway Security v8.1 antes de v8.1.0.69 y CA Total Defense r12, no analiza correctamente las direcciones URL, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria dinámica y caída del demonio) a través de una solicitud mal formada.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of CA Total Defense Suite r12. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the Icihttp.exe module (CA Gateway Security for HTTP), which responds to incoming HTTP requests on port 8080. Due to a flawed copy-loop algorithm in the URL parsing routine, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated user to cause an exploitable heap corruption condition. This could result in the execution of arbitrary code under the context of the Gateway Security service.
