TCP Port 9191

Description

CA eTrust Intrusion Detection contain a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is due to the application failing to properly validate key length values during authentication and is triggered when a remote attacker sends a specially crafted packet containing a long key length value to the remote administration port (9191/TCP). This causes a heap-based buffer overflow in SW3eng.exe in the eID Engine, resulting in loss of availability for the service.
