Description
Internet Security Systems' Protocol Analysis Module (PAM) contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The issue is due to a series of stack based buffer overflows in the module that monitors ICQ server responses. If an attacker sends a specially crafted UDP packet that originates with a source port of 4000, they may be able to execute arbitrary code.
Upgrade to the latest version available on the vendor website, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
