Severity: MEDIUM
CVE Identifier: CVE-2007-4620
Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011
DESCRIPTION
Computer Associates Alert Notification Server is prone to multiple remote buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer.
Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code with SYSTEM-level privileges. This will result in a complete compromise of affected computers.
