Most of the links lead to the corresponding files at CERT or other organisations. So changes take place immediately, especially which patches should be installed or which changes in the configuration should be made to avoid this vulnerability. Some of the files are transferred by FTP.

By the way: If we're not publishing well-known risks inheritant in any widely used platform or program that doesn't mean this particular platform or program is safe to use!

Chosen message with ID ae-200805-076

System: Microsoft Windows
Topic: Vulnerability in IBM Lotus Sametime
Links: ZDI-08-028, IBM, ESB-2008.0532
ID: ae-200805-076

Lotus Sametime is an Instant Messaging and Conference Software. A flaw exists in the handling of long URLs in the Community Services Multiplexer (StMux.exe) listening on TCP port 1533. A specially crafted URL can be passed into a vulnerable sscanf() function that will result in a stack overflow resulting in the ability to execute arbitrary code. An updated version is available now.
