CVE-2014-2364: Advantech WebAccess Stack-Based Buffer Overflow

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in Advantech WebAccess before 7.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in the (1) ProjectName, (2) SetParameter, (3) NodeName, (4) CCDParameter, (5) SetColor, (6) AlarmImage, (7) GetParameter, (8) GetColor, (9) ServerResponse, (10) SetBaud, or (11) IPAddress parameter to an ActiveX control in (a) webvact.ocx, (b) dvs.ocx, or (c) webdact.ocx.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Advantech WebAccess versions before 7.2 contain memory corruption flaws in several ActiveX controls. A remote attacker could cause code execution if vulnerable components process oversized input. This matters most for organizations still running legacy WebAccess in industrial environments or old browser clients. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Advantech WebAccess deployments before 7.2 and clients using the vulnerable ActiveX controls. Internet-facing or broadly reachable WebAccess environments would carry higher operational risk. Treat this as high priority for legacy industrial environments. It is old, but unauthenticated remote code execution in control-system software can create serious business and safety impact if still present. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Advantech WebAccess versions earlier than 7.2 to 7.2 or a vendor-supported later release.; Review Advantech and CISA guidance before applying compensating controls.; Remove or disable vulnerable ActiveX controls where they are not required..

Stack-based Buffer Overflow

Stack-based Buffer Overflow represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
