CVE-2005-0684: Buffer Overflow

First published: Mon Apr 25 2005(Updated: )

Multiple buffer overflows in the web tool for MySQL MaxDB before 7.5.00.26 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) an HTTP GET request with a long file parameter after a percent ("%") sign or (2) a long Lock-Token string to the WebDAV functionality, which is not properly handled by the getLockTokenHeader function in WDVHandler_CommonUtils.c.
