Who is Vulnerable?
Vulnerability Description	Fujitsu SystemcastWizard software is one of the management tools included in the Systemwalker Resource Coordinator, which is a provisioning software by Fujitsu to efficiently and reliably operate blade servers. SystemcastWizard can install operating system images remotely and clone them on other servers. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Fujitsu SystemcastWizard Lite product. The vulnerability is due to an improper bounds checking while handling overly large UDP packets. Remote unauthenticated attackers could exploit this vulnerability by sending maliciously crafted packets and execute arbitrary code on the target. In an attack case 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 privileges of the PXEService, by default System or root privileges. In an attack case where code injection is not successful, the affected service will terminate abnormally due to memory corruption.
