CVE-2018-25302: Allok AVI to DVD SVCD VCD Converter 4.0.1217 Buffer Overflow SEH

Allok AVI to DVD SVCD VCD Converter 4.0.1217 contains a structured exception handling (SEH) based buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying a malicious string in the License Name field. Attackers can craft a payload with junk data, NSEH bypass, SEH handler address, and shellcode that triggers the overflow when pasted into the License Name field and the Register button is clicked, resulting in code execution.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-25302 affects Allok AVI to DVD SVCD VCD Converter 4.0.1217. A malicious value entered into the registration License Name field can crash the application and run attacker-controlled code. This is mainly a workstation risk and requires local interaction, but compromise could occur under the user’s privileges. Exposure is limited to systems running Allok AVI to DVD SVCD VCD Converter version 4.0.1217. This is likely desktop software, not an internet-facing service. Organizations should prioritize endpoints where untrusted users can access the application or where the software is still installed. Treat as a high-priority endpoint cleanup item, not an emergency internet-wide exposure. Remove or replace the affected software where found, especially on shared workstations or systems handling sensitive data. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Allok AVI to DVD SVCD VCD Converter 4.0.1217.; Remove the software if it is unnecessary or unsupported.; Restrict use to trusted users and trusted registration data only..
