Sunway ForceControl SNMP NetDBServer Signed Integer Buffer Overflow

Added: 09/29/2011
BID: 49747
OSVDB: 75798

Background

Sunway ForceControl is a Chinese SCADA/HMI software application widely used in China to help run weapons systems, utilities and chemical plants. It is also used to a lesser extent in other countries, including the US. SNMP NetDBServer is one of the components of this application.

Problem

SNMP NetDBServer is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow as a result of a negative Length value being sign-extended into a long integer and then used as an unsigned value in a memcpy command, thereby overwriting the stack. This vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious user sending a specially crafted request to SNMP NetDBServer on port 2001/tcp.

Resolution

Contact the vendor and apply a patch when one becomes available.
