CVE-2009-20008

Green Dam Youth Escort version 3.17 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow when processing overly long URLs. The flaw resides in the URL filtering component, which fails to properly validate input length before copying user-supplied data into a fixed-size buffer. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted webpage containing a long URL, resulting in arbitrary code execution.

Summary		(es) Green Dam Youth Escort versión 3.17 es vulnerable a un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila al procesar URLs excesivamente largas. La falla reside en el componente de filtrado de URL, que no valida correctamente la longitud de la entrada antes de copiar datos proporcionados por el usuario en un búfer de tamaño fijo. Un atacante remoto puede explotar esta vulnerabilidad al incitar a un usuario a visitar una página web especialmente diseñada que contenga una URL larga, lo que resulta en ejecución de código arbitrario.
