CVE-2006-6026
Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
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.
CVSS
- Version: 2.0
- Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
- Base score: 10
