Discussion

ValiCert Enterprise Validation Authority forms.exe nextUpdatePeriod Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

ValiCert Enterprise Validation Authority includes an Administration Server, which can be accessed through a web interface. CGI functionality is provided by the script forms.exe. This script is available on port 13333 in the default installation.

One of the services provided switches the server into configuration mode. If an unusually long string is passed into this function as the 'nextUpdatePeriod' parameter, a string buffer will be overflowed. This could overwrite the stack, and possibly lead to execution of arbitrary code.
