CVE-2011-2735
CWE-119Published: August 23, 2011· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
7.9
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Multiple buffer overflows in EMC AutoStart 5.3.x and 5.4.x before 5.4.1 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted message over TCP.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2011-2735 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-119): Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service by corrupting adjacent memory.
