TITLE:
TPTEST "GetStatsFromLine()" Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA33972

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/33972/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in TPTEST, which can be exploited
by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"GetStatsFromLine()" function in engine/tpcommon.c (version 3.x) or
src/net/tpcommon.cpp (version 5.x) when processing STATS lines
containing an overly long "email" or "pwd" tag field. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
specially crafted STATS line to a vulnerable server.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.1.7 and reported in 5.02.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
