Descriptions

The STARTTLS implementation in nnrpd in INN before 2.5.3 does not properly restrict I/O buffering, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to insert commands into encrypted sessions by sending a cleartext command that is processed after TLS is in place, related to a "plaintext command injection" attack, a similar issue to CVE-2011-0411.

La implementación STARTTLS en nnrpd en INN antes de v2.5.3 no restringe correctamente el búfer de E/S, lo que permite a atacantes man-in-the-middle introducir comandos en sesiones cifradas mediante el envío de un comando en texto plano que se procesa después de se establezca el TLS, relacionado con un ataque de "inyección de comando en texto claro", un problema similar a CVE-2011-0411.

A vulnerability in INN's STARTTLS implementation could allow a remote attacker to conduct a man-in-the-middle attack. Versions less than 2.5.3 are affected.
