CVE-2005-0807
HighSummary
Multiple buffer overflows in Cain & Abel before version 2.67 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via (1) an IKE packet with a large ID field that is not properly handled by the PSK sniffer filter, (2) the HTTP sniffer filter, or the (3) POP3, (4) SMTP, (5) IMAP, (6) NNTP, or (7) TDS sniffer filters.
Risk Assessment
The risk for the organization includes the possibility of remote code execution by an attacker, which could lead to system compromise, data theft, or further propagation of the attack within the network.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update Cain & Abel to version 2.67 or later, which addresses these vulnerabilities. Additionally, restrict access to the tool to trusted users only.
