InterSystems Cache 'UtilConfigHome.csp' Remote Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

InterSystems Cache is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions.

InterSystems Cache 2009.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
