COMPLETE Summary
Stack-based buffer overflow in the AgentX::receive_agentx function in AgentX++ 1.4.16, as used in RealNetworks Helix Server and Helix Mobile Server 11.x through 13.x and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

| description | This exploits a stack buffer overflow in the AgentX++ library, as used by various applications. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code, potentially with SYSTEM privileges. This module was tested successfully against master.exe as included with Real Network\'s Helix Server v12. When installed as a service with Helix Server, the service runs as SYSTEM, has no recovery action, but will start automatically on boot. This module does not work with NX/XD enabled but could be modified easily to do so. The address |

| description | According to its banner, the remote host is running version 11.x, 12.x, or 13.x of RealNetworks Helix Server / Helix Mobile Server. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities : - A heap overflow exists in the NTLM authentication code related to invalid Base64 encoding. (CVE-2010-1317) - A stack-based buffer overflow within AgentX++ could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-1318) - An integer overflow within AgentX++ could lead to arbitrary code execution.
