Descriptions
Advantech WebAccess HMI Designer, Versions 2.1.9.31 and prior. Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities may be exploited by opening specially crafted project files that may overflow the heap, which may allow remote code execution, disclosure/modification of information, or cause the application to crash.
Advantech WebAccess HMI Designer, versiones 2.1.9.31 y anteriores. Múltiples vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria pueden ser explotadas al abrir archivos de proyecto especialmente diseñados que pueden desbordar la pila, lo que puede permitir una ejecución de código remota, divulgación y modificación de información o causar que la aplicación se bloquee
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Advantech WebAccess/HMI Designer. 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 parsing of PM3 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of 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 the current process.
