CVE-2019-25736

Vulnerability

LabF nfsAxe version 3.7 Ping Client contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability is triggered when a local attacker supplies a malicious payload in the Host IP field. The affected product is LabF nfsAxe up to and including version 3.7 [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a specially formatted input file containing shellcode. This input is provided in the Host IP field. The attacker then overwrites the return address on the stack to gain control of the instruction pointer, allowing for arbitrary code execution [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable application. The attacker can achieve this by overwriting the return address to point to their shellcode, enabling the execution of commands such as calc.exe or other arbitrary commands [1].

Mitigation

LabF nfsAxe version 3.7 is affected by this vulnerability. No specific patched version or release date for a fix has been disclosed in the available references. There are no known workarounds or end-of-life status details provided at this time [1].
