Discussion

Samsung Kies CVE-2012-6429 Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Samsung Kies is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly validate user-supplied input before copying it into a fixed-length buffer.

Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks may cause a denial-of-service condition.

Samsung Kies 2.5.0.12114_1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
