Multiple Mercury Products Magnetproc.EXE Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Multiple Mercury products are prone to a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because the applications fail to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code wtih the privileges of the currently logged-in user. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial of service.
