Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to access dnewsweb.cgi on an internal web server. This may indicate an attempt to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability in NetWin DNews News Server 5.3.

--
Impact:
Remote execution of arbitrary code, possibly leading to remote root compromise.

--
Detailed Information:
NetWin DNews News is a web-based application that manages remote access to Internet newsgroups. When overly long arguments are used as arguments to some dnewsweb.cgi parameters (including but not limited to "group," "cmd," and "utag"), a buffer overflow condition may occur. This can lead to the remote execution of arbitrary code with the security context of DNews. 

--
Affected Systems:
Any operating system running NetWin DNews News Server 5.3 or lower.

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker transmits an overly long, specially crafted URL to the vulnerable DNews server, causing a buffer overflow condition. The attacker is then able to execute arbitrary code on the server with the security context of DNews. 

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. An exploit exists.

--
False Positives:
If a legitimate remote user accesses dnewsweb.cgi, this rule may generate an event.

--
False Negatives:
None known.

--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to DNews News Server 5.4 or higher.
