TITLE

Cisco WebEx Recording Format (WRF) player of ATAS32 Buffer overflow vulnerability in processing functions

DESCRIPTION

Buffer overflow in the ATAS32 processing functionality in the Cisco WebEx Recording Format (WRF) player T26 before SP49 EP40 and T27 before SP28 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted WRF file. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists in ATAS32.DLL during the parsing of values defined within the WRF file format. The vulnerable code trusts the linesProcessed value from the file, and uses it in some logic to determine the destination pointer for a memcpy. By supplying an overly large linesProcessed value, the subtraction would cause an integer underflow and allows an attacker control of the destination buffer pointer. This can be further leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user. Cisco WebEx is a web conferencing solution. When Cisco WebEx parses the value defined in the WRF file format, ATAS32.DLL is flawed. The value is reduced by the large linesProcessed value. Cisco WebEx is prone to multiple remote buffer-overflow vulnerabilities. Failed exploit attempts may result in a denial-of-service condition.
