TITLE

GE Proficy Product Command Injection Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

An ActiveX control in KeyHelp.ocx in KeyWorks KeyHelp Module (aka the HTML Help component), as used in GE Intelligent Platforms Proficy Historian 3.1, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5; Proficy HMI/SCADA iFIX 5.0 and 5.1; Proficy Pulse 1.0; Proficy Batch Execution 5.6; SI7 I/O Driver 7.20 through 7.42; and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted input, related to a "command injection vulnerability.". This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of GE Proficy Historian. 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 KeyHelp.ocx ActiveX control. The control contains a LaunchTriPane function that allows launching of the HTML Help executable (hh.exe) with customized command line parameters. By using the -decompile switch, an attacker can specify the folder to decompile to and a UNC path to a specially crafted .chm file. The attacker can utilize this vulnerability to execute remote code under the context of the process. GE Intelligent Platforms is a software and hardware product, service and expertise for users in the field of automation control and embedded. Multiple GE Proficy Products are prone to remote stack-based buffer-overflow and command-injection vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of an application (typically Internet Explorer) that uses the ActiveX control. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ZDI-12-169 : GE Proficy Historian KeyHelp ActiveX LaunchTriPane Remote Code Execution Vulnerability http://www.zerodayinitiative.com/advisories/ZDI-12-169 August 29, 2012 - -- CVE ID: CVE 2012-2516 - -- CVSS: 7.5, AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P - -- Affected Vendors: GE - -- Affected Products: GE Proficy Historian - -- TippingPoint(TM) IPS Customer Protection: TippingPoint IPS customers have been protected against this vulnerability by Digital Vaccine protection filter ID 11626. - -- Vendor Response: GE has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
