This security advisory describes one high risk vulnerability.
Risk: High
CVSSv3: 7.1 [AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C] [PCI]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-4052
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing crafted Edge Side Includes (ESI) responses. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate to version 3.5.17.
