TITLE

Cisco WebEx Player ARF String Parsing Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Cisco WebEx Player. 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 during the parsing of strings defined within the ARF file format. Strings are typically prefixed by their valid length. By supplying a string much longer than the defined length a heap overflow will occur which can be further leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user. WebEx is the world's largest provider of network communication services, providing carrier-grade network conferencing solutions. WebEx has been acquired by Cisco. Cisco WebEx is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because the software fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Successful exploits will completely compromise affected computers. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia receives 'Frost & Sullivan's Global 2010 Customer Value Enhancement Award Secunia outshines its competitors and receives the Frost & Sullivan’s Global 2010 Customer Value Enhancement Award.
