Descriptions

A specially crafted communication packet sent to the affected device could cause a denial-of-service condition due to a deserialization vulnerability. This affects: Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 Version 4.02C (10.95.208.31) and earlier, all versions; Mitsubishi Electric MC Works32 Version 3.00A (9.50.255.02); ICONICS GenBroker64, Platform Services, Workbench, FrameWorX Server v10.96 and prior; ICONICS GenBroker32 v9.5 and prior.

Un paquete de comunicación especialmente diseñado enviado al dispositivo afectado podría causar una condición de denegación de servicio debido a una vulnerabilidad de deserialización. Esto afecta: Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 versión 4.02C (10.95.208.31) y anteriores, todas las versiones; Mitsubishi Electric MC Works32 versión 3.00A (9.50.255.02); ICONICS GenBroker64, Platform Services, Workbench, FrameWorX Server versión v10.96 y anteriores; ICONICS GenBroker32 versión v9.5 y anteriores

The vulnerablity allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of ICONICS Genesis64. 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 handling of PKGX files. When parsing the WbPackAndGoSettings element, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied path prior to using it in file operations. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM.
