IP TOOLS 2.50 contains a local buffer overflow vulnerability in the SNMP Scanner component that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying oversized input. Attackers can paste malicious data into the 'From Addr' and 'To Addr' fields and trigger the crash by clicking the Start button, causing denial of service and SEH overwrite.
