Summary

A stack-based buffer overflow exists in the UtilConfigHome.csp endpoint of InterSystems Caché 2009.1. The vulnerability is triggered by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request containing an oversized argument to the .csp handler, allowing an attacker to overwrite control structures and execute arbitrary code.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code in the context of the application, potentially leading to server compromise. It is unknown if this vulnerability was patched and an affected version range remains undefined.

Recommendation
