Sid:
2490

--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a buffer overflow
associated with eSignal software. 

--
Impact:
A successful attack may allow the execution of arbitrary code with
LOCAL_SYSTEM privilege on a vulnerable host.

--
Detailed Information:
eSignal software provides real-time stock market data to client hosts.
There is a vulnerability associated with eSignal that may cause a buffer overflow,
permitting the execution of arbitrary code with the context of LOCAL_SYSTEM. 
The buffer overflow occurs when a larger than expected data payload is supplied
for certain message exchanges.

--
Affected Systems:
eSignal versions 7.5 and 7.6

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can create and send a malformed eSignal message that may cause a buffer overflow and 
allow the subsequent execution of arbitrary code with the context of LOCAL_SYSTEM.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. 

--
False Positives:
None known.

--
False Negatives:
None known.

--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to the latest non-affected version of the software.
