Title: Computer Associates iTechnology iGateway Service Content-Length Heap Overflow Vulnerability

Severity: CRITICAL

Description:

The iTechnology iGateway component of various Computer Associates products -- including BrightStor, eTrust, and Unicenter -- are vulnerable to a heap overflow.

The iGateway component of the affected products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting a heap-overflow vulnerability. This issue arises because the application fails to perform boundary checks before copying user-supplied data into sensitive process buffers.

An attacker could trigger the vulnerability by supplying a negative HTTP Content-Length value and a large URI to the service over TCP port 5250. The application uses the negative value directly in a call to malloc(), resulting in creating a small buffer to store the URI. A successful attack can corrupt process memory and can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges on Windows platforms. The vendor has reported that this issue triggers only a denial-of-service condition on other platforms.

Products containing iGateway 4.0.051230 are vulnerable to this issue.
