1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  o CVSS v3 9.8
  o ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low skill level to exploit
  o Vendor: Advantech
  o Equipment: WebAccess HMI Designer
  o Vulnerabilities: Heap-based Buffer Overflow, Out-of-bounds Read,
    Out-of-bounds Write, Type Confusion, Stack-based Buffer Overflow, Double
    Free

2. RISK EVALUATION

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to
read/modify information, execute arbitrary code, and/or crash the application.

3. TECHNICAL DETAILS

3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS

The following versions of Advantech WebAccess HMI Designer, a Human Machine
Interface (HMI) runtime development software, are affected:

  o WebAccess HMI Designer Versions 2.1.9.31 and prior

3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1 HEAP-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-122

Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities may be exploited by opening
specially crafted project files that may overflow the heap, which may allow
remote code execution, disclosure/modification of information, or cause the
application to crash.

CVE-2020-16207 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).

3.2.2 OUT-OF-BOUNDS READ CWE-125

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability may be exploited by processing specially
crafted project files, which may allow an attacker to read information.

CVE-2020-16211 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
3.3 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:L/I:N/A:N ).

3.2.3 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787

Processing specially crafted project files lacking proper validation of user
supplied data may cause the system to write outside the intended buffer area,
which may allow remote code execution, disclosure/modification of information,
or cause the application to crash.

CVE-2020-16213 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).

3.2.4 ACCESS OF RESOURCE USING INCOMPATIBLE TYPE ('TYPE CONFUSION') CWE-843

Processing specially crafted project files lacking proper validation of user
supplied data may cause a type confusion condition, which may allow remote code
execution, disclosure/modification of information, or cause the application to
crash.

CVE-2020-16229 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).

3.2.5 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121

Processing specially crafted project files lacking proper validation of user
supplied data may cause a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow remote
code execution, disclosure/modification of information, or cause the
application to crash.

CVE-2020-16215 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
9.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).

3.2.6 DOUBLE FREE CWE-415

A double free vulnerability caused by processing specially crafted project
files may allow remote code execution, disclosure/modification of information,
or cause the application to crash.

CVE-2020-16217 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of
7.8 has been calculated; the CVSS vector string is ( AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/
C:H/I:H/A:H ).
