Description

A remote overflow exists in MySQL MaxDB. The MaxDB web administration service fails to properly handle HTTP GET requests containing a percent sign ('%') resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted HTTP GET request containing a percent sign followed by an overly long string as the file parameter, a remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges resulting in a loss of integrity.
