Title: Multiple Vendor Hummingbird STR Service Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Severity: CRITICAL
Description:
The Hummingbird STR service ('STRsvc.exe'), which is used in products by multiple vendors, is prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. The vulnerability arises in the 'STRlib.dll' module when the application handles a packet containing an excessive amount of data. The application handles packets via TCP port 10500.
An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions.
This issue affects the following:
EMC Documentum eRoom (prior to 7.4.2)
Open Text Search Server 6.0 and 6.1.
Other versions may be vulnerable as well.
Affected Products:
- EMC Documentum eRoom 7.4.1
- OpenText Search Server 6.0
- OpenText Search Server 6.1
