__________________________________________________________
TITLE : Buffer Overflow in Platinum PCM 7.0
DATE : December 04, 1998
NATURE : Denial-of-Service, Remote Code Execution
PLATFORMS : Windows NT 4.0
DETAILS:
Policy Compliance Manager is a product that performs checks on the system,
in order to ensure that security policies are enforced. It acts very much
as a security scanner, but with a limited number of security checks.
PCM Agent can be installed on different machines. Then, users can establish
connection and initiate checks using the PCM Client.
PROBLEM:
If certain amount of data is sent to port where Smaxagent.exe (Agent) is
listening [1827], Smaxagent will crash. Restart of the service is needed.
Remote users can also execute arbitrary code.
FIXES:
Platinum has been informed about this issue (and confirmed the problem) on
September 9th 1998.
