CVE-2005-1009

NVD-CWE-OtherPublished: May 2, 2005· Updated: Jun 16, 2026

10.0

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

Multiple buffer overflows in BakBone NetVault 6.x and 7.x allow (1) remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a modified computer name and length that leads to a heap-based buffer overflow, or (2) local users to execute arbitrary code via a long Name entry in the configure.cfg file.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2005-1009 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2005-1009. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
