DESCRIPTION:
Nick Freeman has discovered a vulnerability in Avid Media Composer,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
Phonetic Indexer (AvidPhoneticIndexer.exe) when processing packets.
This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via
specially crafted packets sent to TCP port 4659.
Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.5.3. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted hosts only.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Nick Freeman, Security-Assessment.com.
