Synopsis

The remote host has software installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host has a version of Siemens Automation License Manager installed that is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- There are multiple buffer overflows that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by sending a message to the Automation License Manager TCP service listening on port 4410 containing a long serialid field in a _licensekey command. (CVE-2011-4329)

- The Siemens Automation License Manager TCP service listening on TCP port 4410 does not properly copy fields obtained from clients and can be exploited by sending a message containing long fields to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-4530) - By sending a specially crafted 'get_target_ocx_param' or 'send_target_ocx_param' command message to the Automation License Manager service listening on port 4410, an attacker can trigger a NULL pointer dereference and denial of service. (CVE-2011-4531)

Solution

Upgrade to Siemens Automation License Manager 5.1+SP1+Upd2 or later.
