CVE-2003-0595 is a classic stack or heap-based buffer overflow in WiTango Application Server and Tango 2000. The vulnerability is triggered when the application processes an excessively long value supplied in the Witango_UserReference cookie without properly validating or constraining its length before copying it into a fixed-size buffer. This unchecked copy can overwrite adjacent memory and corrupt process state. Because the vulnerable condition is reachable through an HTTP request, a remote attacker can exploit it by replacing a valid cookie value with an overly long string, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected server process.
