Netopia Timbuktu Remote Buffer Overflow
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The <http://www.netopia.com> Timbuktu software is shipped as "a
client/server application that allows remote users to access the desktop
of a host system". The server component of this application is vulnerable
to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability that, when exploited, causes the
server process to crash.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Timbuktu version 7.0.3
Immune Systems:
* Timbuktu version 7.0.4
The server process runs with root privileges on the host Mac OS X and
listens for client connections on TCP port 407. By making a number of
concurrent connections to this port and repeatedly sending a particular
string of data, a memory buffer is overwritten and the server process
crashes.
