The Bat! Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

[TCH-Rob]

The Bat! is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to perform proper bounds checking on user-supplied data before storing it in a finite-sized buffer.

 

An attacker can exploit this issue to control program flow and execute arbitrary attacker-supplied code in the context of the victim user running the affected application.

Thanks Rob.

Not The Bat! too! Is nothing sacred?

 

Thanks for the head's up, Rob.

[TCH-Bruce]

That's actually the second time. Here's the first.

Hey, I've heard of that program

 

Twice in one month, at this rate the free publicity should swell the user ranks to almost double what they had last year. I wonder if they are going IPO or trying to sell the program?

Thanks Rob

[TCH-Dick]

That's actually the second time. Here's the first.

 

I think its the same one?

[TCH-Bruce]

I think its the same one?

 

And Rob posted it twice!

[TCH-Rob]

Trying to up my post count. BTW, Thomas posted the first one. I must have missed it.

[TCH-Bruce]

That's quite alright Rob.

[TCH-Thomas]

I must have missed it.

No, you didn´t.

[TCH-Rob]

No silly Thomas. I meant, when I was looking at me emails about security notices and comparing them with what we had posted in this part of the forums, I did not notice that it had already been covered. I am aware of the fact that I did post in the other thread now that it has been brought to my attention.

 

You better stop picking on me, I am mailing you something this weekend and if you are not careful I just might keep it for myself.

[TCH-Thomas]

lol.

It´s just that I read as if you thought you had not seen it.

I will my friend.
