Title: eEye Retina WiFi Scanner '.rws' File Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
eEye Retina WiFi Scanner is a tool that detects wireless devices within a network.
The application is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate checks on user-supplied input. Specifically, the issue occurs when the application handles a specially crafted '.rws' file containing an overly large 'RWS010' entry.
Attackers may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.
eEye Retina WiFi Scanner 1.0.8.68 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- eEye Digital Security Retina Network Security Scanner 5.10.14
- eEye Digital Security Retina WiFi Scanner 1.0.8.68
