Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in WebAdmin, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of the "USER" parameter during login. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by supplying an overly long, specially crafted string.
Successful exploitation will result in the service crashing and may potentially allow execution of arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
