DiskSavvy versions 9.9.14 and earlier
DupScout versions 9.9.14 and earlier
SyncBreeze versions 9.9.16 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the web server component of the affected software. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted HTTP GET request, allowing them to gain access to the system with NT AUTHORITY / SYSTEM level privileges. The vulnerability is due to improper handling and sanitization of incoming requests.
**Recommendations**
For DiskPulse version 9.9.16 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the buffer overflow vulnerability.
For DiskSavvy version 9.9.14 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the buffer overflow vulnerability.
For DupScout version 9.9.14 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the buffer overflow vulnerability.
For SyncBreeze version 9.9.16 and earlier, update to a version that fixes the buffer overflow vulnerability.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the web server component until a patch is available.
