Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within nvwsworker.exe. When parsing the boundary header of a multipart request, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-4215.","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org"},"summary":{"text":"A stack-based buffer overflow in the nvwsworker.exe component of Quest NetVault Backup (version 11.2.0.13 is affected) arises because a multipart request's boundary header is copied without validating its length. A remote attacker can exploit it without authentication to execute code as SYSTEM.","provenance":"ai","model":"claude-haiku-5-5","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T07:23:43Z"},"cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.66692,"percentile":0.99287,"date":"2026-10-28","provenance":"source"},"kev":null,"vulncheckKev":null,"exploited":false,"otx":{"pulseCount":0,"pulses":[],"provenance":"machine"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-121","name":"Stack-based Buffer Overflow"}],"references":[{"url":"https://zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-18-004","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]}],"techniques":[],"reports":[],"affected":[],"advisories":[],"euvd":{"id":"EUVD-2018-11799","url":"https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/EUVD-2018-11799","exploited":false,"exploitedSince":null,"provenance":"source"},"exploits":[],"exploitSources":null,"exploitRefs":[],"flow":[],"timeline":[{"date":"2018-02-08","kind":"published","label":"Published (CVE.org)","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-1161","provenance":"source"}],"speed":{"daysToPublicExploit":null,"firstExploitFrom":null,"daysToKev":null},"priority":{"score":19.9,"factors":[{"name":"In a KEV catalog","points":0.0,"detail":"not listed"},{"name":"Recent KEV listing","points":0.0,"detail":"not listed"},{"name":"Known ransomware use","points":0.0,"detail":"not known"},{"name":"EPSS percentile","points":19.86,"detail":"percentile 0.9929"},{"name":"Named in threat reports","points":0.0,"detail":"0 reports"},{"name":"Public exploit code","points":0.0,"detail":"none found"},{"name":"Mentioned in OTX pulses","points":0.0,"detail":"0 pulses"},{"name":"CVSS severity","points":0.0,"detail":"no CVSS"},{"name":"End-of-life product","points":0.0,"detail":"supported or unknown"}]}}
