CVE-2006-0474

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple integer overflows in Shareaza 2.2.1.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large packet length field causing overflow in the ReadBuffer function in BTPacket.cpp and EDPacket.cpp, or via a large packet causing a heap-based overflow in the Write function in Packet.h.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely take control of the user's system, leading to full compromise of data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade Shareaza to a version newer than 2.2.1.0 where these vulnerabilities are fixed. If an upgrade is not possible, consider discontinuing use of the software.
