Heap-based buffer overflow in Real Networks Helix Server and Helix Mobile Server before 11.1.3, and Helix DNA Server 11.0 and 11.1, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a DESCRIBE request that contains an invalid LoadTestPassword field.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
