Power Quest Deploy Center 5.5 boot disks

A vulnerability has been found in power quest deploy center 5.5 boot disks. Normally when creating a PQDI network boot disk, the administrator has the option to have the machine login to a domain controller to access a shared resource. Besides the authentication method using lm (insecure), a buffer overflow exists in stuffit.com. Stuffit.com is the control mechanism that allows the power quest boot disk to decode/decrypt stored password(s) in stuffit.dat. A typical line in the disks autoexec.bat file looks like: stuffit /f:stuffit.dat , this loads the stored password resident in memory. However, if this same command is repeated 4 or more times at the command prompt the program overflows, actually printing the clear text password right on the command prompt.
