Details:
========
A Buffer Overflow Vulnerability is detected on FlashFXPs Software Client v4.1.8.1701. The
vulnerability is
located when processing to force a ListIndex Out of Bound(s) exception which allows to overwrite ecx & eip
of the affected software process. Successful exploitation can result in process compromise, execution
of
arbitrary code, system compromise or escaltions with privileges of affected vulnerable software process.
The flaw is a direct result of a fixed length buffer being used in the TListBox control and the
lack of range checking. The code assumes that the string returned by the listbox control will be
less than 4097 characters. It uses a fixed size buffer of 4096 bytes and any text longer than this
will overflow and overwrite the memory beyond it. The TComboBox control also suffers a similar flaw.

Proof of Concept:
=================
The vulnerability can be exploited by local & remote attackers. For demonstration or reproduce ...
Manually reproduce ...
1. Download & open the software client
2. Connect to a random server for inter action
3. Enable the Option Settings => Filters => Skip-List
3. Open the Option => Filter Settings
4. Add a new (Skip-List)one by Including a large unicode string & wait for the exception-handling
5. The exception-handling out of bounds comes up
6. You pass it 2 times by clicking continue ...
7. The software is now crashing with a stable bex exception & displays input as offset[6]
8. Now you can overwrite the ecx & eip of the affected vulnerable software process to exploit the client system
Note: To exploit the bug (remote) an attacker needs to know the included filters of the connected client to
send large strings.
