COMMAND
ImageCast IC3 Control Center
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
ImageCast IC3 Control Center 4.1.0
PROBLEM
Following is based on a Defcom Labs Advisory def-2001-01 by Peter
Grundl. ImageCast, a rapid-PC-deployment tool, much like Ghost,
has problems handling malformed input. These problems can result
in a DoS against the ImageCast Control Center.
Sending a string of approx. 50Kb to the ICCC service (TCP port
12002) results in the server consuming all available CPU and no
longer accepting connections to that port.
Sending multiple packets to port 8081 starting from size 14000
bytes (+carriage return & linefeed), results in a warning box
being opened for each connection, and will eventually (after
approx 326 packets) result in the OS killing ICCC.exe within a
very short time.
SOLUTION
This issue was brought to the vendor's attention on the 21st of
December and assigned incident number [Incident:main 001222-0002].
This is an issue that will be dealt with in a future version of
Imagecast.
