Descriptions

In Advantech WebAccess versions V8.2_20170817 and prior, WebAccess versions V8.3.0 and prior, WebAccess Dashboard versions V.2.0.15 and prior, WebAccess Scada Node versions prior to 8.3.1, and WebAccess/NMS 2.0.3 and prior, a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

En Advantech WebAccess en versiones V8.2_20170817 y anteriores, WebAccess en versiones V8.3.0 y anteriores, WebAccess Dashboard en versiones V.2.0.15 y anteriores, WebAccess Scada Node en versiones anteriores a la 8.3.1 y WebAccess/NMS 2.0.3 y anteriores, se ha identificado una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica (heap) que podría permitir que un atacante ejecute código arbitrario.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable instances of Advantech WebAccess. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the implementation of the 0x13C80 IOCTL in the BwOpcTool subsystem. When parsing the NamedObject structure, the process does not properly validate the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length, heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of Administrator.
