Descriptions

The Data Archiver service in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian 4.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted session on TCP port 14000 to (1) ihDataArchiver.exe or (2) ihDataArchiver_x64.exe.

El servicio Data Archiver service en GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian v4.5 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) o posiblemente ejecutar código a través de una sesión TCP manipulada en el puerto 14000 sobre (1) ihDataArchiver.exe o (2) ihDataArchiver_x64.exe.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of GE iFix. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the ihDataArchiver.exe process which listens by default on TCP port 14000. Several errors are present in the code responsible for parsing data from the network. By providing malformed data for opcodes 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 the process can be made to corrupt memory which can lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running the service.
