-- Vulnerability Details:
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on
affected installations of Panda AdminSecure. Authentication is not
required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the AdminSecure agent which binds by
default to TCP port 19226 or 19227. When processing traffic on the
listening port, the agent trusts a user-supplied length value for a
memory allocation. Specific size values can result in an integer
overflow and subsequently insufficient allocation size. This results in
a heap-based buffer overflow that can be leverage to execute arbitrary
code.
