Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: 2006-07-25
Patch Published: N/A
CVE [?]: CVE-2006-3838
CPE [?]: N/A

Synopsis

The remote host contains an application that is vulnerable to remote buffer overflow attacks.

Description

The version of eIQnetworks Enterprise Security Analyzer, Network Security Analyzer, or one of its OEM versions installed on the remote host is affected by multiple stack-based buffer overflows in its Syslog Service. Using a long argument to any of several commands, an unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on the affected host with LOCAL SYSTEM privileges.

Solution

Upgrade to Enterprise Security Analyzer 2.1.14 / Network Security Analyzer 4.5.4 / OEM software 4.5.4 or later

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): 10617
Target Asset(s): Services/esa_syslog
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the eIQnetworks Enterprise Security Analyzer Syslog Server Multiple Remote Overflows vulnerability:

  1. Metasploit: exploit/windows/misc/eiqnetworks_esa_topology
    [eIQNetworks ESA Topology DELETEDEVICE Overflow]
  2. Metasploit: exploit/windows/misc/eiqnetworks_esa
    [eIQNetworks ESA License Manager LICMGR_ADDLICENSE Overflow]
  3. Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/16438.rb
    [EDB-16438: eIQNetworks ESA - Topology DELETEDEVICE Overflow (Metasploit)]
  4. Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/16451.rb
    [EDB-16451: eIQNetworks ESA - License Manager LICMGR_ADDLICENSE Overflow (Metasploit)]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.
