Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the HTTP Gateway Service (icihttp.exe) in CA eTrust Secure Content Manager 8.0 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via long FTP responses, related to (1) the file month field in a LIST command; (2) the PASV command; and (3) directories, files, and links in a LIST command.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects CA eTrust Secure Content Manager 8.0. Its HTTP Gateway Service can mishandle unusually long FTP server responses, potentially letting a remote attacker crash the service or run code in that service context. Exposure is likely limited to legacy deployments of CA eTrust Secure Content Manager 8.0 with the HTTP Gateway Service processing FTP traffic or FTP responses from untrusted destinations. Treat as high priority where this legacy product is still in use. The business risk is remote service compromise or outage, but urgency depends on whether FTP gateway exposure exists. Mitigation focus: Check CA advisory and solution QO99987 for the vendor-supported fix.; Identify and retire unsupported CA eTrust Secure Content Manager 8.0 deployments.; Disable FTP gateway handling if it is not business-required..
