Title : Openwsman Buffer Overflow and SSL Session Replay Vulnerabilities VUPEN ID : VUPEN/ADV-2008-2397 CVE ID : CVE-2008-2233 - CVE-2008-2234 CWE ID : CWE-119 - CWE-295
Rated as : High Risk
Remotely Exploitable : Yes Locally Exploitable : Yes Release Date : 2008-08-18
Technical Description
Two vulnerabilities have been identified in Openwsman, which could be exploited by remote attackers to bypass security restrictions, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.
The first issue is caused by buffer overflow errors in the "ws_base64_decode()" function when decoding HTTP basic authentication headers, which could be exploited by remote unauthenticated attackers to crash an affected implementation or execute arbitrary code.
The second vulnerability is caused by an error in the "callback-verify" function within the OpenSSL library that does not verify the host providing a certificate while verifying the fingerprint of the received certificate, which could be exploited to conduct SSL session replay attacks against a client.
