Affected: AutomationDirect C-More EA9

AutomationDirect C-More EA9 EAP9 File Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of AutomationDirect C-More EA9. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EAP9 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-24772.

A file parsing stack-based buffer overflow remote code execution vulnerability is a serious software flaw that arises when an application or system improperly handles input files, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. If exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely, often resulting in system compromise or unauthorized control. A file parsing memory corruption remote code execution vulnerability occurs when an application fails to safely handle data during the parsing of files, resulting in memory corruption. If exploited, this vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially compromising the target system.
