Discussion

Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Convert Function Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A remote buffer overflow vulnerability affects Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly validate the length of user-supplied strings prior to copying them into static process buffers.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.

The issue outlined in this BID was previously presented in BID 12080 (Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise Multiple Vulnerabilities) along with other issues; each issue is being assigned its own BID. This BID 12080 is being retired.
