CVE-2004-0362: n/a vulnerability

CVE-2004-0362: Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the ICQ parsing routines of the ISS Protocol Analysis Module (PAM)...

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the ICQ parsing routines of the ISS Protocol Analysis Module (PAM) component, as used in various RealSecure, Proventia, and BlackICE products, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a SRV_MULTI response containing a SRV_USER_ONLINE response packet and a SRV_META_USER response packet with long (1) nickname, (2) firstname, (3) lastname, or (4) email address fields, as exploited by the Witty worm.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-0362 is a remote code execution flaw in ISS security products that inspect ICQ traffic. A malformed ICQ server response can overflow memory in the PAM parser. The source bundle says it was exploited by the Witty worm, so legacy exposed deployments deserve urgent attention. Exposure is most likely in legacy ISS RealSecure, Proventia, or BlackICE deployments with PAM ICQ protocol analysis enabled. The bundle does not identify exact product versions, network placements, or currently supported fixes. Treat this as urgent for any remaining ISS security-product footprint. The risk is not theoretical: sources link the flaw to worm exploitation. The main business task is finding legacy deployments and proving they are patched, disabled, isolated, or retired. Mitigation focus: Inventory RealSecure, Proventia, and BlackICE deployments using ISS PAM.; Check ISS/X-Force, CERT, CIAC, and eEye advisories for affected versions and fixes.; Apply vendor-provided updates or supported replacement guidance where available..
