Authenticated code execution via service buffer overflow
Published Jun 10, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Buffer overflow in IBM Aspera applications allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code through a network service. IBM has not published the affected service, attacker-controlled input, or faulty memory operation, so the concrete trigger remains undisclosed. Valid application credentials and intimate system knowledge are required; successful exploitation runs code in the service context.
