DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Enterasys Network Management
Suite, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the Syslog
service (nssyslogd.exe) when processing the PRIO field. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via an overly long
message sent to UDP port 514.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 4.1.0.80.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.1.0.80.
