CVE-2007-5559

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—

Heap-based buffer overflow in the IBM ThinkVantage TPM Service allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP packet. NOTE: as of 20071016, the only disclosure is a vague pre-advisory with no actionable information. However, since it is from a well-known researcher, it is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
