Advantech WebAccess < 8.0.2015.08.16 Unspecified DLL String Handling Arbitrary Code Execution

medium Nessus Plugin ID 86899

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has a web application running that is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The Advantech WebAccess application running on the remote host is prior to version 8.0.2015.08.16. It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability due to improper validation of user-supplied input when handling an unspecified DLL string in a file.
A local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted application, to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code or a denial of service condition.

Solution

Upgrade to Advantech WebAccess version 8.0.2015.08.16 or later.
