Technical

eEye Digital Security released an advisory which specified several vulnerable commands in CA License Manager: LOG1, GETCONFIG, PUTOLF, GCR, GBR, OLFCONFIRM, GETBACKUP, GETLOG, NEWOLF, and GETSERVER. Also, any invalid command can be issued to trigger a buffer overflow.

iDefense released some advisories which elaborated on specific attacks against some of these commands, specifically GETCONFIG and PUTOLF, as well as the unchecked buffer for invalid commands.
