Descriptions

Buffer overflow in IBM Platform Symphony 5.2, 6.1, and 6.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (process crash or hang) via a malformed SOAP request with a large amount of request data.

Desbordamiento de búfer en la plataforma IBM Symphony 5.2, 6.1 y 6.1.1 que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de proceso o bloqueo) a través de una petición SOAP manipulada con una gran cantidad de datos en la solicitud.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of IBM Platform Symphony DE. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists in the way SOAP requests are handled. A malformed SOAP request would overwrite a statically sized buffer that could allow remote code execution in the context of the process.
