TITLE

CitectSCADA and Mitsubishi MX4 SCADA Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in an unspecified third-party component in the Batch module for Schneider Electric CitectSCADA before 7.20 and Mitsubishi MX4 SCADA before 7.20 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long string in a login sequence. CitectSCADA is software for providing monitoring and control functions in the Data Acquisition and Monitoring System (SCADA). A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in CitectSCADA and Mitsubishi MX4 SCADA version 7.10. This vulnerability affects the Batch server module, which can be exploited by an attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of an application, and a failed attack attempt will result in a denial of service. CitectSCADA is an industrial control software used by Mitsubishi MX4 and Schneider Electric. Careful construction of string data can execute arbitrary code in the application context. CitectSCADA and Mitsubishi MX4 SCADA are prone to a buffer-overflow vulnerability that affects the Batch server module. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. The following versions are vulnerable: CitectSCADA 7.10 and prior Mitsubishi MX4 SCADA 7.10 and prior. Citectscada is prone to a local security vulnerability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ovum says ad hoc tools are out-dated. The best practice approach?
