Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	Trend Micro OfficeScan is a centralized virus and security scan management system. It is meant to consolidate the coordination of security scan actions and the management of Trend Micro virus scanner products installed on the nodes of an enterprise network. The product is a central command centre for the management of infections or vulnerabilities, as well as information regarding virus events or unusual activity. There exists a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way Trend Micro OfficeScan Policy server handles HTTP requests. The vulnerability is due to lack of boundary protection while processing HTTP parameters. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability to take complete control of an affected system. In an attack case where code injection is not successful, the affected application will suspend abnormally. The attacker might consume all the system resource by sending continuous requests and create a denial-of-service condition to the affected server. In a more sophisticated attack where code injection is successful, the behaviour of the target is entirely dependent on the intended function of the injected code. The code in such a case would execute within the security context of the affected service, normally System.
