Executive brief
A network security monitoring component in intrusion detection systems contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that can be exploited remotely without authentication. A successful attack could cause the system to crash and stop monitoring network threats, or potentially allow an attacker to execute malicious code and take complete control of the security monitoring system.
Technical details
The vulnerability is a limited buffer overflow in the network security monitoring component of intrusion detection systems. It can be triggered by an unauthenticated remote attacker over the network without requiring any special credentials or user interaction. Successful exploitation could result in a denial-of-service condition (system crash) or arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the affected IDS process, allowing complete system compromise.
