Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in Advantech WebAccess before 7.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long NodeName2 argument.

Desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila en Advantech WebAccess anterior a 7.2 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un argumento NodeName2 largo.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Advantech WebAccess. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the webvact.ocx ActiveX Control. The control does not check the length of an attacker-supplied NodeName2 string before copying it into a fixed length buffer on the stack. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the browser process.
