UNKNOWN Summary
Heap-based buffer overflow in the WindsPlayerIE.View.1 ActiveX control in WindsPly.ocx 3.5.0.0 Beta, 3.0.0.5, and earlier in AwingSoft Awakening Web3D Player and Winds3D Viewer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a long SceneUrl property value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-2386. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

Metasploit
| description | This module exploits a data segment buffer overflow within Winds3D Viewer of AwingSoft Awakening 3.x (WindsPly.ocx v3.6.0.0). This ActiveX is a plugin of AwingSoft Web3D Player. By setting an overly long value to the 'SceneURL' property, an attacker can overrun a buffer and execute arbitrary code. |
