Vulnerability Information

Severity: Critical
Vulnerability Published: 2014-12-18
Patch Published: 2005-07-01
CVE [?]: CVE-2014-9222, CVE-2014-9223
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:allegrosoft:rompager

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

Nessus was able to overwrite the request path by sending a specially crafted cookie to the remote web server. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A flaw in HTTP cookie management in the embedded web server allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges and to possibly conduct attacks against connected devices. (CVE-2014-9222)

- A digest authentication buffer overflow flaw exists that allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service or to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9223)

Solution

Contact the vendor for an updated firmware image. Allegro addressed both issues in mid-2005 with RomPager version 4.34.
