CVE-2004-2003

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In DeleGate version 8.9.2 and earlier, the ssl_prcert function in the SSLway filter (sslway.c) contains a buffer overflow. A remote attacker can exploit a certificate with a long subject or issuer name field to execute arbitrary code.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely take control of the server running DeleGate, leading to full system compromise, data leakage, or further attacks within the internal network.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade DeleGate to a version later than 8.9.2 where this vulnerability is fixed. If an upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the server and disable the SSLway filter.
