TITLE

GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian Vulnerable to stack-based buffer overflow

DESCRIPTION

Stack-based buffer overflow in the Data Archiver service in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian before 3.5 SIM 17 and 4.x before 4.0 SIM 12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted TCP message traffic. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of GE Proficy Historian. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the ihDataArchiver.exe process which listens by default on TCP port 14000. The code within this module trusts a value supplied over the network and uses it as a length when copying user-supplied data to a stack buffer. By providing a large enough value, this buffer can be overflowed leading to arbitrary code execution under the context of the user running the service. GE Proficy Historian is a factory system that collects, archives and distributes very large amounts of real-time data at high speeds, significantly improving operational visibility and profit and loss settlement lines. There is a stack-based buffer overflow that can be exploited by remote attackers to crash ihDataArchiver.exe or ihDataArchiver_x64.exe. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in denial-of-service conditions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ovum says ad hoc tools are out-dated.
