Official Description
Multiple buffer overflows in the CentennialIPTransferServer service (XFERWAN.EXE), as used by (1) Centennial Discovery 2006 Feature Pack 1, (2) Numara Asset Manager 8.0, and (3) Symantec Discovery 6.5, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via long strings in a crafted TCP packet.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2007-1173 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.
