A vulnerability has been identified in various Computer Associates products, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial of service. This flaw is due to a buffer overflow error in the iGateway component that does not properly handle a negative "Content-Length" HTTP header value sent to port 5250/TCP, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges on Windows, and cause an iGateway component failure on UNIX and Linux platforms.
