Vulnerability Note VU#222657

Original Release Date: 2010-11-19 | Last Revised: 2010-11-23

Overview

RealFlex RealWin 1.06 HMI service (912/tcp) contains two stack buffer overflow vulnerabilities.

Description

RealFlex RealWin is a SCADA server package for medium and small applications designed to control and monitor real-time applications. The RealWin application runs an HMI service on port 912/tcp. This service is vulnerable to two stack-based buffer overflows. One vulnerability is caused by the use of sprintf() in the SCPC_INITIALIZE() and SCPC_INITIALIZE_RF() functions. The second vulnerability is caused by the use of strcpy() in the SCPC_TXTEVENT() function.

Further information is available in ICS_CERT Advisory ICSA-10-313-01
