Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Buffer overflow in the Single Sign-On function in Fujitsu Interstage Application Server 8.0.0 through 8.0.3 and 9.0.0, Interstage Studio 8.0.1 and 9.0.0, and Interstage Apworks 8.0.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long URI.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Buffer overflow in the Single Sign-On (SSO) function in Fujitsu Interstage Application Server allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted long URI. The vulnerability affects versions 8.0.0-8.0.3 and 9.0.0 of Application Server, versions 8.0.1 and 9.0.0 of Studio, and version 8.0.0 of Apworks.

MitigationApply Fujitsu vendor patches (Interstage Application Server 8.0.4/9.0.1 or later) to address the buffer overflow. Until patched, implement input length validation at the application or network edge to restrict URI length and consider disabling or restricting SSO access as a temporary workaround.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Interstage product and version
    Check the installed version of Fujitsu Interstage Application Server, Studio, or Apworks using vendor installation tools or product documentation (typically via versioninfo command, control panel, or installation logs)
    Affected if The installed version is 8.0.0, 8.0.1, 8.0.2, 8.0.3, 9.0.0, 9.0.0a, or v9.0.0.0 (for Application Server Standard J)
  2. Determine which Interstage component is installed
    Identify whether the installation includes Application Server Enterprise, Application Server Standard J, Apworks Enterprise, Apworks Standard J, Studio Enterprise, or Studio Standard J
    Affected if The product is any of the listed affected components at the specified versions (8.0.0-8.0.3 or 9.0.0/9.0.0a for Application Server; 8.0.0 for Apworks; 8.0.1 or 9.0.0 for Studio)
  3. Verify if SSO functionality is enabled
    Check the Interstage configuration for Single Sign-On (SSO) module or feature status using the product's admin console or configuration files
    Affected if SSO is enabled and the product version falls within the affected versions listed in the CVE
  4. Confirm network exposure of SSO interface
    Determine if the HTTP server or web interface handling SSO requests is accessible from the network (check listening ports, firewall rules, and binding addresses)
    Affected if The SSO endpoint is externally accessible and the installed version is vulnerable

A user is affected if they have any Fujitsu Interstage Application Server, Studio, or Apworks version 8.0.0-8.0.3 or 9.0.0/9.0.0a with SSO functionality enabled and exposed to network requests.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

From vendor data
Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Apply Fujitsu vendor patches (Interstage Application Server 8.0.4/9.0.1 or later) to address the buffer overflow. Until patched, implement input length validation at the application or network edge to restrict URI length and consider disabling or restricting SSO access as a temporary workaround.
