| Description: | Stunnel, a program designed to work as an universal SSL tunnel for network daemons, is prone to a buffer overflow vulnerability when using the Microsoft NT LAN Manager (NTLM) authentication (protocolAuthentication = NTLM ) together with the connect protocol method (protocol = connect ). With these prerequisites and using stunnel4 in SSL client mode (client = yes ) on a 64 bit host, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the stunnel process, if the attacker can either control the specified proxy server or perform man-in-the-middle attacks on the tcp session between stunnel and the proxy sever. |
