Package: maxdb-webtools
Severity: critical
Tags: security

A vulnerability has been found in MaxDB (CVE-2006-4305):

Buffer overflow in SAP DB and MaxDB before 7.6.00.30 allows remote
attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long database name when
connecting via a WebDBM client.

See e.g.

for details


Severity critical because I assume it starts WebDBM by default ("introduces a
security hole on systems where you install the package"). If this is not the
case, it is only "grave".
