APP: Motorola Timbuktu Authentication Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Motorola Timbuktu . A successful attack can lead to a buffer overflow and arbitrary remote code execution within the context of the server. Timbuktu is a remote desktop application by Motorola. With it, a user can connect to their desktop from anywhere on the Internet, even through a NAT. This can be a violation of your organization's security policy.
Extended Description
Motorola Timbuktu Pro is prone to multiple remote buffer-overflow vulnerabilities because the software fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input. Successfully exploiting these issues allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary machine code with SYSTEM-level privileges, which may lead to a complete compromise of affected computers. Failed exploit attempts likely result in denial-of-service conditions. Timbuktu Pro 8.6.3.1367 for Windows is vulnerable to these issues; other versions and platforms may also be affected.
