http://secunia.com/advisories/15109/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From local network

SOFTWARE:
MaxDB 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/4012/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in MaxDB, which can be
exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) A boundary error in the web administration service can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a
specially crafted, overly long HTTP "GET" request containing a
percent sign.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

2) A boundary error in the "getLockTokenHeader()" function in
"WDVHandler_CommonUtils.c" in the WebDAV functionality of the web
administration service can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer
overflow by sending a specially crafted HTTP request with the unlock
method.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 7.5.00.23. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 7.5.00.26.
