Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. Dameware Remote Mini Control version 12.1.0.34 and prior contains a unauthenticated remote heap overflow due to the server not properly validating RsaPubKeyLen during key negotiation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a heap buffer overflow by specifying a large RsaPubKeyLen, which could cause a denial of service. Affected products include: Dameware Remote Mini Control. Version information: version 12.1.0.34.

Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
