Rule:

--
Sid:
804

--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in SWSoft ASPSeek search engine software.

--
Impact:
Arbitrary code execution.

--
Detailed Information:
SWSoft ASPSeek search engine software contains a buffer overflow vulnerability where, if a sufficiently long string is sent to the s.cgi script using the template (tmpl) variable, a buffer overflow condition can occur. This may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

--
Affected Systems:
All Apache web servers running SWSoft ASPSeek 1.0.3 and earlier are vulnerable.

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can send a crafted query to the s.cgi script, creating a buffer overflow condition. This could then allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code from the system's command shell.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. Exploits exist.

--
False Positives:
If a legitimate remote user accesses s.cgi where the "tmpl" variable is invoked, this rule may generate an event.

--
False Negatives:
None known.

--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to SWSoft ASPSeek 1.04 or later.
