  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.
