Remotely Exploitable Vulnerabilities in SAP Compression Algorithms
The two primary compression algorithms used by SAP SE products, some of the most popular enterprise and business management software platforms on the market, contain multiple, remotely exploitable security vulnerabilities.
Martin Gallo of Core Security Consulting Services found vulnerabilities in the decompression routines of two compression algorithms deployed across SAP’s line of products. SAP uses proprietary implementations of the Lempel-Ziv-Thomas (LZC) adaptive dictionary compression algorithm and the Lempel-Ziv-Huffman (LZH) compression algorithm. Gallo was able to trigger these exploits in different scenarios in order to remotely and locally execute arbitrary code and cause denial of service conditions.
The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
