Title: Activity Monitor 2002 Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Activity Monitor 2002 is an application designed to remotely monitor employee system usage. It is available for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
A vulnerability has been reported for Activity Monitor 2002 that may be exploited to remotely trigger a denial of service condition. The problem occurs while handling data received from hosts that are not registered in the Activity Monitor 'monitoring list'. Specifically if a host that is not being monitored by the Activity Monitor transmits an initial packet, with the SYN flag set, to the affected service via TCP port 15163 a packet with SYNACK flag set is sent back. This will cause an internal exception to occur in the Activity Monitor and the software will fail. Successive legitimate communications destined for this service will receive a RST as the port is now closed.
Affected Products:
- Soft Activity Activity Monitor 2002 2.6.0
