Core Security - Corelabs Advisory http://corelabs.coresecurity.com/ Advantech AdamView Buffer Overflow 1. *Advisory Information* Title: Advantech AdamView Buffer Overflow Advisory ID: CORE-2014-0008 Advisory URL: http://www.coresecurity.com/advisories/advantech-adamView-buffer-overflow Date published: 2014-11-19 Date of last update: 2014-11-19 Vendors contacted: Advantech Release mode: User release 2. *Vulnerability Information* Class: Buffer overflow [CWE-119] Impact: Code execution Remotely Exploitable: No Locally Exploitable: Yes CVE Name: CVE-2014-8386 3. *Vulnerability Description* Advantech AdamView [1] is a HMI Software for Data Acquisition software package for human-machine interfaces HMI, and supervisory control and data acquisition SCADA. Advantech AdamView has to two different fields vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, which can be exploited by attackers in order to execute arbitrary code by running files with the '.gni' extension that is assosiated with the AdamView software. 4. *Vulnerable packages* . Advantech AdamView V4.3 . Other versions are probably affected too, but they were not checked. 5. *Vendor Information, Solutions and Workarounds* The vendor informed us that the product is no longer supported and therefore no fix or update is going to be released. Given that this is a client-side vulnerability, affected users should avoid opening untrusted '.gni' files. Core Security also recommends those affected use third party software such as Sentinel [3] or EMET [2] that could help to prevent the exploitation of affected systems to some extent. 6. *Credits* This vulnerability was discovered and researched by Daniel Kazimirow and Fernando Paez from Core Security Exploit Writers Team. The publication of this advisory was coordinated by Joaquín Rodríguez Varela from Core Advisories Team. 7. *Technical Description / Proof of Concept Code* This vulnerability is caused by a stack buffer overflow when parsing the display properties parameter. A malicious third party could trigger execution of arbitrary code within the context of the application, or otherwise crash the whole application. Below are shown the vulnerable fields, the debug information, and the stack state after being overwritten. /----- VULNERABLE FIELDS: [+] display properties (BUG 1) 00475BA0 |. 53 PUSH EBX ; /<%s> 00475BA1 |. 8D4C24 18 LEA ECX,DWORD PTR SS:[ESP+18] ; | 00475BA5 |. 68 F09C4B00 PUSH ADAMView.004B9CF0 ; |Format = "Display Designer: %s" 00475BAA |. 51 PUSH ECX ; |s 00475BAB |. 8BF0 MOV ESI,EAX ; | 00475BAD |.
