A vulnerability has been identified in BakBone NetVault Reporter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or take complete control of an affected system. This issue is caused by a heap overflow error in the scheduler client (clsscheduler.exe) listening on port 7978/TCP and the scheduler server (srvscheduler.exe) listening on port 7977/TCP when processing an overly long filename argument passed to a "GET" or "POST" request, which could be exploited by remote attackers to crash an affected application or execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
