DescriptionCVE.org

Nsauditor 3.0.28 and 3.2.1.0 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the DNS Lookup tool that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting memory. Attackers can craft a malicious DNS query payload to trigger a three-byte overwrite, bypass ASLR, and execute shellcode through a carefully constructed exploit.

AnalysisAI

Stack-based buffer overflow in Nsauditor Network Auditing Tool 3.0.28 and 3.2.1.0 in the DNS Lookup tool allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted input. PoC available.

Technical ContextAI

CWE-121 stack overflow in Nsauditor's DNS Lookup tool. Oversized input to the DNS query field overwrites the stack frame, enabling control of the instruction pointer.

RemediationAI

Update Nsauditor to a patched version. Validate input length in DNS lookup fields.
