Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in EMC AutoStart 5.3.x and 5.4.x before 5.4.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted message over TCP.

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer en EMC AutoStart v5.3.x y v5.4.x antes de v5.4.1 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída del demonio) o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección mediante el envío de un mensaje manipulado a través de TCP.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of EMC AutoStart. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists in the Agent Service (ftAgent.exe). The Agent Service listens on TCP port 8045 for communications between AutoStart nodes. When handling messages with opcode 0x11 the process performs arithmetic on an unvalidated user-supplied value used to determine the size of a new heap buffer, allowing a potential integer wrap to cause a heap buffer overflow. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by sending malformed message packets to the target, which can ultimately lead to arbitrary code execution under the context of the SYSTEM user.
