Hermansen Security Advisory

Subject: Buffer Overflow in popular CD-Writing Software
Advisory number: HERM-2003-MISC
Issue date: 2003 November 02
______________________________________________________________________________


1. Problem Description

Many popular CD-Writing software programs are vulnerable to "Buffer Underflow" based vulnerabilities.  The problem lies 
in the fact that the program may be trying to write faster to the disc than the PC can handle, thus the storage buffer 
is depleted and a "Buffer Underflow" occurs.


2. Vulnerable Supported Versions

System Binaries
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL POPULAR WRITING SOFTWARE

3. Solution

The proper solution is to get a newer burner which has "protection" against this critical vulnerability and use 
software which supports it.

8. Disclaimer
