Discussion

Roger Wilco Remote Server Side Buffer Overrun Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been reported for various Roger Wilco server releases. The problem occurs server-side, and can be triggered when processing malformed client packets. Specifically, when connecting to a server the Roger Wilco client transmits a packet containing the size of data to be copied into an internal buffer. As a result, a malicious user could modify the size to result in excessive data being copied into a previously allocated buffer. This could ultimately allow for sensitive server memory to be corrupted, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
