TCP Port 5461

Description

Flaws in the communication handling and the input validation of SMART SynchronEyes can be exploited by an attacker to cause the application to allocate a large amount of memory resources on a vulnerable system, creating a denial of service condition.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Denial of Service
Impact: Loss of Availability
Exploit: Exploit Public
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified

Technical

By sending a specific crafted UDP datagram to the Teacher discovery port (UDP 5496) the attacker could force SynchronEyes to connect back to the attacker's machine on TCP port 5461 and supply a overly large size parameter which will be used by SynchronEyes as a parameter to malloc function call.

Solution

Currently, there are no known upgrades, patches, or workarounds available to correct this issue.
