TITLE:
Geo++ GNCASTER Multiple Weaknesses and Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38323

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38323/

DESCRIPTION:
RedTeam Pentesting has reported some weaknesses and vulnerabilities
in Geo++ GNCASTER, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause
a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable
system, and by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive
information, bypass certain security restrictions, cause a DoS, and
potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

1) An error within the processing of certain overly long "HTTP GET"
requests can be exploited to e.g. crash the server and potentially
execute arbitrary code.

2) An error within the processing of certain overly long NMEA-data
sentences can be exploited to e.g. crash the server and potentially
execute arbitrary code.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.

3) The server allows the HTTP Basic authentication method to access
"admin.htm" although it should only allow it the HTTP Digest
authentication method.

4) The server does not regenerate the nonce used during HTTP Digest
authentication, which can be exploited to e.g. conduct replay
attacks.

5) The server leaks 32 bytes of memory in case of a failed
authentication, which can be exploited to disclose potentially
sensitive information (e.g. authentication headers of other users).

The vulnerabilities and weaknesses are reported in version 1.4.0.7.
Prior versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.4.0.8.
