Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NetTransport Download Manager versions 2.96L and earlier

Description A buffer overflow issue in the NetTransport.exe file could allow remote HTTP servers to execute arbitrary code on NAS devices via a long HTTP response. This is achieved through specially crafted HTTP responses.

Recommendations For versions 2.96L and earlier, update to a version later than 2.96L to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the NetTransport.exe file until a patch is available. Avoid using the NetTransport Download Manager to handle long HTTP responses from untrusted sources until the issue is resolved.
