Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Gadu-Gadu version 7.20
Description
The issue arises from the improper handling of MS-DOS device names in filenames. This can be exploited by remote attackers in two ways:
(1) to cause a denial of service by sending an image filename of
AUX: twice, which results in a hang,
(2) to write to the LPT1 port via a filename of LPT1:.Recommendations
For Gadu-Gadu version 7.20, consider restricting the use of filenames that contain MS-DOS device names to prevent potential exploitation. Avoid using filenames such as
AUX: or LPT1: to minimize the risk of a denial of service or unauthorized access to the LPT1 port. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
