Descriptions

In WebAccess/SCADA, Versions 8.3.5 and prior, multiple stack-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities are caused by a lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow remote code execution.

En WebAccess/SCADA, versiones 8.3.5 y anteriores, múltiples vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila son provocadas por la falta de una validación correcta de la longitud de los datos proporcionados. La explotación de estas vulnerabilidades podrían permitir la ejecución remota de código.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Advantech WebAccess Client. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within bwclient.exe, which is accessed through the 0x2711 IOCTL in the webvrpcs process. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of Administrator.
