DESCRIPTION:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in PROMOTIC,
which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially
sensitive information and compromise a user's system.
1) Input passed via the URL within the "/webdir/" directory is not
properly verified before being used to read files and can be
exploited to disclose arbitrary files via directory traversal
attacks.
2) A boundary error in the "SaveCfg()" method within the
PmTrendViewer ActiveX control can be exploited to cause a stack-based
buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "vCfg"
parameter.
3) A boundary error in the "AddTrend()" method within the
PmTrendViewer ActiveX control can be exploited to cause a heap-based
buffer overflow via an overly long string passed in the "sID"
parameter.
Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #2 and #3 allows execution
of arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 8.1.3. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted hosts only. Set the kill-bit for the
affected ActiveX control.
