    -= Denicomp REXECD/RSHD Denial of Service Vulnerability =-
    
    Release date: Thursday, May 3, 2001
    
    
    Introduction:
    
    Denicomp's REXECD and RSHD products are ports of their counterparts
    on Unix-based systems, allowing the use of the rcp, rsh and rexec
    commands on machines running MS Windows.
    
    These products can be obtained through the vendors website at:
    http://www.denicomp.com
    
    
    Problem:
    
    There exists a problem in the port-handling code of mentioned
    products which exposes the services provided by these to a DoS attack.
    
    When a string of +/- 4300 bytes is sent to the listening port of
    the REXEC and/or RSH daemons (defaulting to the standard 512 and
    514 ports), the service in question will die.
    
    A restart will be needed to regain full functionality.
    
    
    (..)
    
    
    Solution:
    
    Vendor has been notified and has verified this problem. New versions
    of these products will be released from the vendor's website shortly.

    encouraged to upgrade.
