Technical Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in eIQnetworks Enterprise Security Analyzer, which could be exploited by remote attackers to take complete control of an affected system.

The first issue is due to a buffer overflow error in the Syslog daemon (syslogserver.exe) that does not properly handle overly long strings (the affected TCP port is not exposed by default), which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The second vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow error in the EnterpriseSecurityAnalyzer.exe and the license manager (port 10616/TCP) that do not properly handle an overly long argument passed to the "LICMGR_ADDLICENSE" command, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

The third flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the Topology service (Topology.exe) that does not properly handle overly long prefixes passed to the "GUIADDDEVICE", "ADDDEVICE", and "DELETEDEVICE" commands, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.

The fourth vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow error in the Syslog service that does not properly handle overly long arguments passed to certain commands (e.g. "DELTAINTERVAL" and "LOGFOLDER"), which could be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable system.

The fifth issue is due to an unspecified error in the Monitoring service (port 9999/TCP).
