DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Proficy Historian,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised within the Web
Administrator component before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
2) An error in the Data Archiver service (ihDataArchiver.exe or
ihDataArchiver_x64.exe) when processing certain network messages can
be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially
crafted packet sent to TCP port 14000.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.
Please see the vendor's advisories for a list of affected versions.
SOLUTION:
Apply updates.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits:
1) Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle via ICS-CERT.
2) Luigi Auriemma via ZDI.
