CVE-2008-0871

CVE-2008-0871 describes multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Now SMS/MMS Gateway versions 2007.06.27 and earlier. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a long password in an HTTP Authorization header or a large packet to the SMPP service. With a CVSS score of 6.8, this vulnerability is of medium severity, requiring no authentication and having a medium attack complexity, but potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. Exploitation is facilitated by publicly available exploit code, including a Metasploit module and entries in ExploitDB, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
