CVE-2007-5029

Dibbler 0.6.0 - Denial of Service via Buffer Over-Read in TSrvMsg Constructor

Title source: llm

Description

Dibbler 0.6.0 does not verify that certain length parameters are appropriate for buffer sizes, which allows remote attackers to trigger a buffer over-read and cause a denial of service (daemon crash), as demonstrated by incorrect behavior of the TSrvMsg constructor in SrvMessages/SrvMsg.cpp when (1) reading the option code and option length and (2) parsing options.
