Buffer overflow in an ActiveX control in Atx45.ocx in Schneider Electric ProClima before 6.1.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-8512. NOTE: this may be clarified later based on details provided by researchers.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-8511 is a buffer overflow in Schneider Electric ProClima’s Atx45.ocx ActiveX control before version 6.1.7. The CVE says remote attackers could execute arbitrary code through unspecified vectors. Business urgency depends on whether legacy ProClima and ActiveX-capable Windows environments remain in use. Exposure is most likely on engineering or workstation systems with Schneider Electric ProClima versions earlier than 6.1.7 installed, especially where ActiveX controls can be invoked. Treat as high priority if ProClima remains installed in operational or engineering environments. The issue is old, but legacy ActiveX exposure can persist and arbitrary code execution could affect sensitive workstation integrity. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Schneider Electric ProClima to version 6.1.7 or later.; Review Schneider Electric advisory SEVD 2014-344-01 for vendor-specific guidance.; Disable or restrict vulnerable ActiveX control use where upgrade is not immediate..
