Discussion
Websense Content Gateway 'handle_debug_network' Stack Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Websense Content Gateway is prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
A remote attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Failed attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition.
