CitectSCADA and CitectFacilities ODBC service buffer overflow
| citectscada-odbc-bo (42992) |  High Risk |
Description:
CitectSCADA and CitectFacilities are vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the ODBC service. By sending an overly long packet to TCP port 20222, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges or cause the application to crash.
