TITLE:
NeoTrace Express/Pro ActiveX Control "TraceTarget()" Buffer Overflow

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23463

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23463/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
NeoTrace Pro 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/7223/
NeoTrace Express 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/12941/

DESCRIPTION:
Parvez Anwar has discovered a vulnerability in NeoTrace Pro and
NeoTrace Express, which can be exploited by malicious people to
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the
NeoTraceExplorer.NeoTraceLoader ActiveX control
(NeoTraceExplorer.dll) when constructing the command line used for
invoking the NeoTrace application. This can be exploited to cause a
stack-based buffer overflow by passing an overly long string (about
500 bytes) as argument to the "TraceTarget()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in NeoTrace Express 3.25 and NeoTrace
Pro/McAfee Visual Trace 3.25. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Remove the affected ActiveX control (this may impact the
functionality, but should only prevent the application from being
invoked via Internet Explorer).

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Parvez Anwar
