Signature Detail

APP: SafeNet VPN Overflow

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the SafeNet IKE module. A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server.

Extended Description

SafeNet SoftRemote is prone to a remote stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized memory buffer. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. Successfully exploiting this issue will result in the complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. Versions prior to SoftRemote 10.8.6 are vulnerable.
