Discussion

Real Server Administrator Port Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

At installation, the Real Server software randomly selects an unused port as the remote administration port. This port is used by Real Server's remote web administration feature. To access this feature, the correct port must be specified and a valid username/password pair must be entered. By sending a long response to this authentication request, the buffer can be overwritten and arbitrary code can be executed on the server.
