    TITLE     : Buffer Overflow in Platinum PCM 7.0
    DATE      : December 04, 1998
    NATURE    : Denial-of-Service, Remote Code Execution
    PLATFORMS : Windows NT 4.0
    
    DETAILS:
    
    Policy Compliance Manager is a product that performs checks on the system,
    in order to ensure that security policies are enforced. It acts very much
    as a security scanner, but with a limited number of security checks.
    
    PCM Agent can be installed on different machines. Then, users can establish
    connection and initiate checks using the PCM Client.
    
    PROBLEM:
    
    If certain amount of data is sent to port where Smaxagent.exe (Agent) is
    listening [1827], Smaxagent will crash. Restart of the service is needed.
    
    Remote users can also execute arbitrary code.
    
    FIXES:
    
    Platinum has been informed about this issue (and confirmed the problem) on
    September 9th 1998.
