Affected Systems : UNIX/NT Web servers with PDGSoft's Cart.

Description
***********
The Cerberus Security Team has discovered two buffer overflows in two of the

arbitrary code by a remote attacker.

The two executables with the vulnerabilities are redirect.exe and
changepw.exe both of which are accessible over the web. If supplied an
overly long query string both will overflow an internal buffer overwriting
the saved return address.

quick response.
