Trend Micro ServerProtect SpntSvc buffer overflow vulnerability

Overview

Trend Micro ServerProtect contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

I. Description

Trend Micro ServerProtect is an anti-virus application that is designed to run on Windows-based servers. The ServerProtect architecture includes a management console, information server, and the server which has ServerProtect installed.

The ServerProtect executable that runs on the server being protected by the anti-virus engine is called SpntSvc.exe.

The SpntSvc component contains a stack overflow vulnerability. An attacker may be able to trigger the overflow by sending a malformed RPC request to the SpntSvc process.

II. Impact

III. Solution

Update

Trend Micro has released ServerProtect 5.58 for Windows Security Patch 3- Build 1176 to address this vulnerability.
