Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in mnoGoSearch, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Both vulnerabilities are caused due to boundary errors, when handling user input supplied to the parameters "ul" and "tmplt". This can be exploited by supplying an overly long, specially crafted argument, which will cause a buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the web service.
Examples:
http://[victim]/cgi-bin/search.cgi?ul=AAAA...[6000]...AAAA
http://[victim]/cgi-bin/search.cgi?tmplt=AAAA...[1050]...AAAA
The "ul" vulnerability has been reported in version 3.1.20. The "tmplt" vulnerability has been reported in version 3.2.10.
Solution:
An updated CVS version is available:
